More from Benjamin Disraeli
"A dark horse, which had never been thought of, and which had, up to this moment, been in an obscure stable, suddenly burst upon the field, and, rushing past the grandstand, was hailed a winner."
"Life is too short to be little. Man is never so manly as when he feels deeply, acts boldly, and expresses himself with frankness and with fervor."
"Justice is truth in action."
"There is no index of character so sure as the voice."
"The people are not strong: the people never can be strong. Their attempts at self-vindication will end only in their suffering and confusion."
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.
