More quotes by Benjamin Disraeli
And it is a singular truth that, though a man may shake off national habits, accent, manner of thinking, style of dress,--though he may become perfectly identified with another nation, and speak its language well, perhaps better than his own,--yet never can he succeed in changing his handwriting to a foreign style.

Benjamin Disraeli
To tax the community for the advantage of a class is not protection: it is plunder.
Benjamin Disraeli
Two nations between whom there is no intercourse and no sympathy who are as ignorant of each other's habits, thoughts, and feelings, as if they were dwellers in different zones, or inhabitants of different planets. The rich and the poor.
Benjamin Disraeli
He was one of these men who think that the world can be saved by writing a pamphlet.
