More quotes by Benjamin Disraeli
I look upon parliamentary government as the noblest government in the world, and certainly one most suited to England.

Benjamin Disraeli
Customs may not be as wise as laws, but they are always more popular.
Benjamin Disraeli
Consider Ireland.... You have a starving population, an absentee aristocracy, and an alien Church, and in addition the weakest executive in the world. That is the Irish Question.
Benjamin Disraeli
Perseverance and tact are the two most important qualities for the individual who wants to move ahead.
Benjamin Disraeli
Rothschild is the Lord and Master of the money markets of the world, and of course virtually Lord and Master of everything else. He literally held the revenues of Southern Italy in pawn, and Monarchs and Ministers of all countries courted his advice and were guided by his suggestions.
Benjamin Disraeli
To supervise people, you must either surpass them in their accomplishments or despise them.
Benjamin Disraeli
Damn your principles! Stick to your party.
