More from Benjamin Disraeli
"The people are not strong: the people never can be strong. Their attempts at self-vindication will end only in their suffering and confusion."
"Action may not always bring happiness; but there is no happiness without action."
"I cannot pay attention unless I am attracted."
"There is no act of treachery or meanness of which a political party is not capable; for in politics there is no honour."
"The world is a wheel, and it will all come round right."
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.
