More from Benjamin Disraeli
"I am a gentleman. I live in a world of gentlemen."
"We can know nothing of humankind without knowing something of ourselves. Self-knowledge is the property of those people whose passions have their full play, but who ponder over their results."
"In politics nothing is contemptible."
"The most important thing in life is to know how to live."
"The fruit of my tree of knowledge is plucked, and it is this: “Adventures are to the adventurous.”"
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.
