More quotes by Benjamin Disraeli
Real politics are the possession and distribution of power.
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
With words we govern men.
Benjamin Disraeli
Nine-tenths of existing books are nonsense, and the clever books are the refutation of that nonsense.
Benjamin Disraeli
The world is devoted to physical science, because it believes theses discoveries will increase its capacity of luxury and self-indulgence. But the pursuit of science only leads to the insoluble.
Benjamin Disraeli
He was distinguished for ignorance for he had only one idea, and that was wrong.
Benjamin Disraeli
No, it is better not. She will only ask me to take a message to Albert.
Benjamin Disraeli
The practice of politics in the East may be defined by one word: dissimulation.
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
Great men should think of opportunity and not of time. That is the excuse of feeble and puzzled spirits.
Benjamin Disraeli
The tone and tendency of liberalism...is to attack the institutions of the country under the name of reform and to make war on the manners and customs of the people under the pretext of progress.
Benjamin Disraeli
Departure should be sudden.
Benjamin Disraeli
And it is a singular truth that, though a man may shake off national habits, accent, manner of thinking, style of dress,--though he may become perfectly identified with another nation, and speak its language well, perhaps better than his own,--yet never can he succeed in changing his handwriting to a foreign style.
Benjamin Disraeli
Romance has been elegantly defined as the offspring of fiction and love.
Benjamin Disraeli
Turtle makes all men equal.
Benjamin Disraeli
That youthful fervor, which is sometimes called enthusiasm, but which is a heat of imagination subsequently discovered to be inconsistent with the experience of actual life.
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 European talks of progress because by the aid of a few scientific discoveries he has established a society which has mistaken comfort for civilisation.
Benjamin Disraeli
Nothing can withstand the power of the human will if it is willing to stake its very existence to the extent of its purpose.
Benjamin Disraeli
Let the fear of a danger be a spur to prevent it he that fears not, gives advantage to the danger.
Benjamin Disraeli
