More from Benjamin Disraeli
"The unimpaired Purity of the Public Credit, the Maintenance of the Institutions of the Country, and the Increase of the Welfare of the People, are the three great objects of the Conservative Party."
"Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day; teach a man to fish and he will eat for a lifetime; give a man religion and he will die praying for a fish."
"We are not creatures of circumstance; we are creators of circumstance."
"Man is only truly great when he acts from the passions; never irresistible but when he appeals to the imagination."
"All is mystery; but he is a slave who will not struggle to penetrate the dark veil."
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.
