More from Benjamin Disraeli
"Change is inevitable. Change is constant."

"The Services in war time are fit only for desperadoes but, in peace, are fit only for fools."
"Never apologize for showing feeling. When you do so, you apologize for the truth."

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.
