More from Benjamin Disraeli
"Consider Ireland.... You have a starving population, an absentee aristocracy, and an alien Church, and in addition the weakest executive in the world. That is the Irish Question."
"The people are not strong: the people never can be strong. Their attempts at self-vindication will end only in their suffering and confusion."
"All power is a trust; that we are accountable for its exercise; that from the people, and for the people, all legitimate government exists."
"With words we govern men."
"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.
