More from Benjamin Disraeli
"The more you read, the more you know. The more you know, the smarter you grow."
"He was one of those men who think that the world can be saved by writing a pamphlet."
"All is race; there is no other truth, and every race must fall which carelessly suffers its blood to become mixed."
"The secret history of the late distress is a lesson to all modern statesmen. Rest assured that in politics, however tremendous the effects, the causes are often as trifling."
"An English revolution is at least a solemn sacrifice: a French revolution is an indecent massacre."
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.
