Benjamin Disraeli
The legacy of heroes is the memory of a great name and the inheritance of a great example.
Benjamin Disraeli
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
The difference between talent and genius is this: while the former usually develops some special branch of our faculties, the latter commands them all. When the former is combined with tact, it is often more than a match for the latter.
Benjamin Disraeli

Benjamin Disraeli
Twilight makes us pensive Aurora is the goddess of activity despair curses at midnight hope blesses at noon.
Benjamin Disraeli
The press is not only free, it is powerful. That power is ours. It is the proudest that man can enjoy. It was not granted by monarchs, it was not gained for us by aristocracies but it sprang from the people, and, with an immortal instinct, it has always worked for the people.
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
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.
