More from Benjamin Disraeli
"One of the hardest things in this world is to admit you are wrong. And nothing is more helpful in resolving a situation than its frank admission."
"Grief is the agony of an instant: the indulgence of grief is the blunder of life."
"The hare-brained chatter of irresponsible frivolity."
"There is no gambling like politics."
"We make our own fortune and call it destiny."
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.
