Be frank and explicit. That is the right line to take when you wish to conceal your own mind and to confuse the minds of others.

More from Benjamin Disraeli
"I was born in a library."
"an extraordinary mixture of envy, vindictiveness, hypocrisy and superstition."
"Seeing much, suffering much, and studying much, are the three pillars of learning."
"The people are not strong: the people never can be strong. Their attempts at self-vindication will end only in their suffering and confusion."
"I think there is nothing more lovely than the love of two beautiful women who are not envious of each other's charms."
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.
