"The fruit of my tree of knowledge is plucked, and it is this: “Adventures are to the adventurous.”"
"All power is a trust; that we are accountable for its exercise; that from the people, and for the people, all springs, and all must end."
"The legacy of heroes is the memory of a great name and the inheritance of a great example."
"The more extensive a man's knowledge of what has been, the more accurate will be his judgment of what is to be."
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.
