More from Benjamin Disraeli
"The future is not a gift, it is an achievement."
"The greatest successes are those that are achieved for the benefit of others."
"The greatest wisdom is to be ignorant that you are wise."
"Never mind that; we came at last. And at the next change there will be something very superior to us—something with wings. Ah! That's it: we were fishes, and I believe we shall be crows."
"If Mr. Gladstone fell into the Thames, that would be a misfortune; and if anybody pulled him out, that would be a calamity."
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.
