"As a general rule, the most successful man in life is the man who has the best information."
"Christianity is completed Judaism, or it is nothing. Christianity is incomprehensible without Judaism, as Judaism is incomplete without Christianity."
"Talk to a man about himself and he will listen for hours."
"Language and religion do not make a race—there is only one thing which makes a race, and that is blood."
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.
