More quotes by Benjamin Disraeli
To be conscious that you are ignorant of the facts is a great step to knowledge.
Benjamin Disraeli
A man may speak very well in the House of Commons, and fail very completely in the House of Lords. There are two distinct styles requisite: I intend, in the course of my career, if I have time, to give a specimen of both.
Benjamin Disraeli
The expected always happens
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
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
Nature is stronger than education.
Benjamin Disraeli
England is a domestic country. Here the home is revered and the hearth sacred. The nation is represented by a family,--the Royal family,--and if that family is educated with a sense of responsibility and a sentiment of public duty, it is difficult to exaggerate the salutary influence it may exercise over a nation.
Benjamin Disraeli
An author can have nothing truly his own but his style.
Benjamin Disraeli
Through persistence numerous individuals win accomplishment out of what appeared bound to be sure disappointment.
Benjamin Disraeli
I am prepared for the worst, but hope for the best.
Benjamin Disraeli
The very phrase 'foreign affairs' makes an Englishman convinced that I am about to treat of subjects with which he has no concern.
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
Things must be done by parties, not by persons using parties as tools.
Benjamin Disraeli
Nobody is forgotten, when it is convenient to remember him.
Benjamin Disraeli
If you want to be a leader of people, you must learn to watch events.
Benjamin Disraeli
There is no gambling like politics. Nothing in which the power of circumstance is more evident.
Benjamin Disraeli
If you're not very clever you should be conciliatory.
Benjamin Disraeli
Success is the child of audacity.
Benjamin Disraeli
One of the hardest things in this world is to admit you are wrong. And nothing is more helpful in resolving a situation than its frank admission.
Benjamin Disraeli
No, it is better not. She will only ask me to take a message to Albert.
Benjamin Disraeli
