More quotes by Benjamin Disraeli

Benjamin Disraeli
As for that, said Waldenshare, sensible men are all of the same religion. Pray, what is that? inquired the Prince. Sensible men never tell.
Benjamin Disraeli
You asked me where I generally lived. In my workshop [i.e. in his study] in the mornings and always in the library in the evening. Books are companions even if you don’t open them.
Benjamin Disraeli
What wonderful things are events! The least are of greater importance than the most sublime and comprehensive speculations.
