More from Benjamin Disraeli
"When men are pure, laws are useless; when men are corrupt, laws are broken."
"The greatest successes are those that are achieved for the benefit of others."
"The right to be heard does not include the right to be taken seriously."
"Language and religion do not make a race—there is only one thing which makes a race, and that is blood."
"When asked about belief in God, he replied that he believed what most intelligent men believed. When asked what that was, he said, 'like most intelligent men I don't say.'"
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.
