More from Benjamin Disraeli
"It destroys one's nerves to be amiable every day to the same human being."
"Ah, Ireland... That damnable, delightful country, where everything that is right is the opposite of what it ought to be."
"Yes, I am a Jew, and when the ancestors of the right honourable gentleman were brutal savages in an unknown island, mine were priests in the temple of Solomon."
"The most dangerous thing in the world is to try to leap a chasm in two jumps."
"The legacy of heroes is the memory of a great name and the inheritance of a great example."
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.
