More from Benjamin Disraeli
"A female friend, amiable, clever, and devoted, is a possession more valuable than parks and palaces; and without such a muse, few men can succeed in life, none be contented."
"I never made a mistake in my life; I thought I had once, but I was wrong."
"I am a Conservative to preserve all that is good in our Constitution, a Radical to remove all that is bad."
"My idea of an agreeable person is a person who agrees with me."
"The Services in war time are fit only for desperadoes but, in peace, are fit only for fools."
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.
