More from Benjamin Disraeli
"How much easier it is to be critical than to be correct."
"If you don't believe in magic, then you can't believe in reality."
"The people are not strong: the people never can be strong. Their attempts at self-vindication will end only in their suffering and confusion."
"What Art was to the ancient world, Science is to the modern; the distinctive faculty. In the minds of men, the useful has succeeded to the beautiful."
"When a man fell into his anecdotage it was a sign for him to retire from the world."
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.
