All is mystery but he is a slave who will not struggle to penetrate the dark veil.
Benjamin Disraeli

She is an excellent creature, but she can never remember which came first, the Greeks or the Romans.
Benjamin Disraeli
Image
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 fervour.
Benjamin Disraeli
Image
Experience is the child of thought, and thought is the child of action.
Benjamin Disraeli

If a man be gloomy let him keep to himself. No one has the right to go croaking about society, or what is worse, looking as if he stifled grief.
Benjamin Disraeli

Benjamin Disraeli
Image
Had it not been for you, I should have remained what I was when we first met, a prejudiced, narrow-minded being, with contracted sympathies and false knowledge, wasting my life on obsolete trifles, and utterly insensible to the privilege of living in this wondrous age of change and progress.
Benjamin Disraeli
Image
It is the lot of man to suffer it is also his fortune to forget. Oblivion and sorrow share our being, as darkness and light divide the course of time.
Benjamin Disraeli
Image
There is no gambling like politics. Nothing in which the power of circumstance is more evident.
Benjamin Disraeli
Image
Why should one say that the machine does not live? It breathes, for its breath forms the atmosphere of some towns.
Benjamin Disraeli
Image
Luck is what a capricious man believes in.
Benjamin Disraeli

Sweet is the voice of a sister in the season of sorrow.
Benjamin Disraeli
Image
It is useless to deny, and impossible to conceal, that a great part of Europe, the whole of Italy and France, and a great portion of Germany, to say nothing of other countries - is covered with a network of these secret societies, just as the superfices of the Earth are being covered with railroads.

Be amusing: never tell unkind stories above all, never tell long ones.
