Benjamin Disraeli
The fool wonders, the wise man asks.

Benjamin Disraeli
I look upon parliamentary government as the noblest government in the world, and certainly one most suited to England. But without the discipline of political connection, animated by the principle of private honor, I feel certain that a popular assembly would sink before the power or the corruption of a minister.
Benjamin Disraeli
Experience is the child of thought, and thought is the child of action.
Benjamin Disraeli
Where knowledge ends, religion begins.
Benjamin Disraeli
There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics.
Benjamin Disraeli
