More quotes by 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
All my successes have been built on my failures.
Benjamin Disraeli
Gentlemen, the Tory party, unless it is a national party, is nothing.
Benjamin Disraeli
The first favourite was never heard of, the second favourite was never seen after the distance post, all the ten-to-oners were in the rear, and a dark horse which had never been thought of, and which the careless St. James had never even observed in the list, rushed past the grand stand in sweeping triumph.
Benjamin Disraeli
The most powerful men are not public men: a public man is responsible, and a responsible man is a slave. It is private life that governs the world.
Benjamin Disraeli
Fear makes us feel our humanity.
Benjamin Disraeli
Nurture your minds with great thoughts. To believe in the heroic makes heroes.
Benjamin Disraeli

Benjamin Disraeli
Great men should think of opportunity and not of time. That is the excuse of feeble and puzzled spirits.
Benjamin Disraeli
Nature has given us two ears but only one mouth.
Benjamin Disraeli
With words we govern men.
Benjamin Disraeli
The enterprise of America precedes that of Europe, as the industry of England precedes that of the rest of Europe.
Benjamin Disraeli
Christianity is completed Judaism or it is nothing.
Benjamin Disraeli
The sweet simplicity of the three percents.
Benjamin Disraeli

Benjamin Disraeli
Finality is not the language of politics.
Benjamin Disraeli
Rothschild is the lord and master of the money markerts of the world and virtually lord and master of everything else.
Benjamin Disraeli
I am neither a Whig nor Tory. My politics are described in one word and that word is England.
Benjamin Disraeli
The right honourable gentleman caught the Whigs bathing, and walked away with their clothes. He has left them in the full enjoyment of their liberal positions, and he is himself a strict conservative of their garments.
