"The unimpaired Purity of the Public Credit, the Maintenance of the Institutions of the Country, and the Increase of the Welfare of the People, are the three great objects of the Conservative Party."
"I am a man of principle, and my principle is to be ready for anything."
"Jews show so near an affinity to you... Where is your Christianity if you do not believe in their Judaism?"
"I have always thought that every woman should marry, and no man."
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.
