Duty cannot exist without faith
Benjamin Disraeli
The praise of a fool is incense to the wisest of us . . .
Benjamin Disraeli
Popular privileges are consistent with a state of society in which there is great inequality of position. Democratic rights, on the contrary, demand that there should be equality of condition as the fundamental basis of the society they regulate.
Benjamin Disraeli
Had it not been for you, I should have remained what I was when we first met, a prejudiced, narrow-minded being, with contracted sympathies and false knowledge, wasting my life on obsolete trifles, and utterly insensible to the privilege of living in this wondrous age of change and progress.
Benjamin Disraeli
Everyone likes flattery and when you come to Royalty you should lay it on with a trowel.
Benjamin Disraeli
Seeing much, suffering much, and studying much, are the three pillars of learning.

Benjamin Disraeli
The greatest good you can do for another is not just to share your riches but to reveal to him his own.
Benjamin Disraeli

Benjamin Disraeli
He who anticipates his century is generally persecuted when living, and always pilfered when dead.
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
Bore: one who has the power of speech but not the capacity for conversation.
Benjamin Disraeli
I must follow the people. Am I not their leader?
Benjamin Disraeli
When a man is going to try and borrow money, it is wise to look prosperous
Benjamin Disraeli
Nine-tenths of all existing books are nonsense.
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
Life is to short to be small.
Benjamin Disraeli
I do not believe such a quality as chance exists. Every incident that happens must be a link in a chain.
Benjamin Disraeli
