More from Benjamin Disraeli
"The secret of success is constancy to purpose."
"A university should be a place of light, of liberty, and of learning."
"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."
"Power has only one duty — to secure the social welfare of the people."
"He was a man of the world, which is to say, he was a man who knew how to live."
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.
