More from Benjamin Disraeli
"The most successful nations are those which are most united."
"His Christianity was muscular."
"Man is only truly great when he acts from the passions; never irresistible but when he appeals to the imagination."
"The greatest secret of success in life is to be ready when your opportunity comes."
"The secret history of the late distress is a lesson to all modern statesmen. Rest assured that in politics, however tremendous the effects, the causes are often as trifling."
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.
