"Power has its duties as well as its rights."
"Never apologize for showing feeling. When you do so, you apologize for the truth."
"Man is created for a purpose; the object of his existence is to perfect himself. Man is imperfect by nature, because if nature had made him perfect he would have had no wants; and it is only by supply…"
"Jews show so near an affinity to you... Where is your Christianity if you do not believe in their Judaism?"
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.
