Benjamin Disraeli
A consistent soul believes in destiny, a capricious one in chance.

Benjamin Disraeli
When men are young, they want experience and when they have gained experience, they want energy.
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
Knowledge must be gained by ourselves. Mankind may supply us with facts but the results, even if they agree with previous ones, must be the work of our own minds.
Benjamin Disraeli
Success is the child of audacity.
Benjamin Disraeli
Money is power, and rare are the heads that can withstand the possession of great power.
Benjamin Disraeli
