"The fruit of my tree of knowledge is plucked, and it is this: “Adventures are to the adventurous.”"
"Do not read history. Read biography for it is life without theory."
"Happiness is only to be found in a recurrence to the principles of human nature; and these will prompt very simple measures."
"You can tell the strength of a nation by the women behind its men."
About Benjamin Disraeli (1804-1881)
British Prime Minister who built modern Conservative populism; the only PM of Jewish heritage and a celebrated novelist before politics. Closely associated with Lord Salisbury (his Conservative successor as PM). For an intellectual contrast, see William Ewart Gladstone, four-time Liberal Prime Minister — the two alternated as PM four times — Gladstone's free-trade moralism and Disraeli's imperialist pragmatism are the founding poles of British party politics.
