More from Benjamin Disraeli
"The essence of education is the education of the body."
"The health of the people is really the foundation upon which all their happiness and all their powers as a state depend."
"He was a man of the world, which is to say, he was a man who knew how to live."
"I have climbed to the top of the greasy pole."
"Life is too short to be little. Man is never so manly as when he feels deeply, acts boldly, and expresses himself with frankness and with fervor."
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.
