More quotes by Benjamin Disraeli
You will in due season find your property is less valuable, and your freedom less complete.
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
The difference between a misfortune and a calamity is this: If Gladstone fell into the Thames, it would be a misfortune. But if someone dragged him out again, that would be a calamity.
Benjamin Disraeli
Man is not the creature of circumstances, circumstances are the creatures of men. We are free agents, and man is more powerful than matter.
Benjamin Disraeli
That doctrine of peace at any price has done more mischief than any I can well recall that have been afloat in this country. It has occasioned more wars than any of the most ruthless conquerors. It has disturbed and nearly destroyed that political equilibrium so necessary to the liberties and the welfare of the world.
Benjamin Disraeli

Benjamin Disraeli
The press is not only free, it is powerful. That power is ours. It is the proudest that man can enjoy.
Benjamin Disraeli

Benjamin Disraeli
The right honourable gentleman caught the Whigs bathing, and walked away with their clothes. He has left them in the full enjoyment of their liberal positions, and he is himself a strict conservative of their garments.
Benjamin Disraeli
Life is too short to be little.
Benjamin Disraeli
Eloquence is the child of knowledge. When a mind is full, like a wholesome river, it is also clear.
Benjamin Disraeli
Extreme views are never just something always turns up which disturbs the calculations formed upon their data.
Benjamin Disraeli
A great city, whose image dwells in the memory of man, is the type of some great idea. Rome represents conquest Faith hovers over the towers of Jerusalem and Athens embodies the pre-eminent quality of the antique world, Art.
Benjamin Disraeli
Everyone likes flattery and when you come to Royalty you should lay it on with a trowel.
Benjamin Disraeli
You must originate, and you must sympathize yon must possess, at the same time, the habit of communicating and the habit of listening. The union is rather rare, but irresistible.
Benjamin Disraeli
The world is ruled by other people, than people believe to know.
Benjamin Disraeli
I do not understand how an aristocracy can exist, unless it be distinguished by some quality which no other class of the community possesses.
Benjamin Disraeli
The choicest pleasures of life lie within the ring of moderation.
Benjamin Disraeli
