More quotes by Benjamin Disraeli
No affection and a great brain, these are the people to command the world.
Benjamin Disraeli
All of us encounter, at least once in our life, some individual who utters words that make us think forever. There are men whose phrases are oracles who condense in one sentence the secrets of life who blurt out an aphorism that forms a character or illustrates an existence.
Benjamin Disraeli

Benjamin Disraeli
What we call the heart is a nervous sensation, like shyness, which gradually disappears in society. It is fervent in the nursery, strong in the domestic circle, tumultuous at school.
Benjamin Disraeli
Luck is what a capricious man believes in.
Benjamin Disraeli
The right hon. Gentleman [Sir Robert Peel] caught the Whigs bathing, and walked away with their clothes.
Benjamin Disraeli
The disappointment of manhood succeeds the delusion of youth.
Benjamin Disraeli
The unfortunate are always egotistical.
Benjamin Disraeli
Sorry only counts for that which it cannot alter.
Benjamin Disraeli
'A sound Conservative government,' said Taper, musingly. 'I understand: Tory men and Whig measures.'
