More from Benjamin Disraeli
"Governments do not govern, but merely control the machinery of government, being themselves controlled by the hidden hand."
"It is well-known what a middleman is; he is a man who bamboozles one party and plunders the other."
"Experience is the child of thought, and thought is the child of action."
"In politics nothing is contemptible."
"It destroys one's nerves to be amiable every day to the same human being."
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.
