More quotes by Benjamin Disraeli

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
A female friend, amiable, clever, and devoted, is a possession more valuable than parks and palaces and without such a muse, few men can succeed in life, none be contented.
Benjamin Disraeli
Things must be done by parties, not by persons using parties as tools.
