More from Benjamin Disraeli
"The greatest pains to human nature are the pains of patience."
"Ignorance never settles a question."
"All power is a trust; that we are accountable for its exercise; that from the people, and for the people, all springs, and all must end."
"We can know nothing of humankind without knowing something of ourselves. Self-knowledge is the property of those people whose passions have their full play, but who ponder over their results."
"The wisdom of the wise and the experience of the ages are perpetuated by quotations."
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.
