More quotes by Benjamin Disraeli
My idea of an acceptable person is someone that is ready to accept my ideas.
Benjamin Disraeli

Benjamin Disraeli
There is no education like adversity.
Benjamin Disraeli
There is no gambling like politics.

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
A realist is a man who insists on making the same mistakes his grandfather did.

Benjamin Disraeli

Benjamin Disraeli
I pride myself in recognizing and upholding ability in every party and wherever I meet it.
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
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
