More from Benjamin Disraeli
"Madam, I am the blank page between the Old Testament and the New."
"All is mystery; but he is a slave who will not struggle to penetrate the dark veil."
"A female friend, amiable, clever, and devoted, is a possession more valuable than parks and palaces; and without such a muse, few men can succeed in life, none be contented."
"There are no secrets of success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure."
"Money is power, and rare are the heads that can withstand the possession of great power."
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.
