More from Benjamin Disraeli
"When I want to read a good book, I write one."
"I never deny; I never contradict; I sometimes forget."
"I deny that a people can govern itself. Self-government is a contradiction in terms. Whatever form a government assumes, power must be exercised by a minority of numbers."
"Everyone likes flattery; and when you come to Royalty you should lay it on with a trowel."
"As a general rule, the most successful man in life is the man who has the best information."
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.
