More quotes by Benjamin Disraeli
Romance has been elegantly defined as the offspring of fiction and love.
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
Youth is the trustee of prosperity.
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
You asked me where I generally lived. In my workshop [i.e. in his study] in the mornings and always in the library in the evening. Books are companions even if you don’t open them.
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
Man is only truly great when he acts from the passions never irresistible but when he appeals to the imagination.
Benjamin Disraeli
The European talks of progress because by the aid of a few scientific discoveries he has established a society which has mistaken comfort for civilisation.
Benjamin Disraeli
O Music! Miraculous art! A blast of thy trumpet and millions rush forward to die a peal of thy organ and uncounted nations sink down to pray.
Benjamin Disraeli
There is no waste of time like making excuses.
Benjamin Disraeli
There is no diplomacy like silence.
Benjamin Disraeli
The conduct of men depends upon their temperament, not upon a bunch of musty maxims.
Benjamin Disraeli
The age does not believe in great men, because it does not possess any.
Benjamin Disraeli
Gentl, I am a party man. I believe that, without party, Parliamentary government is impossible. I look upon Parliamentary government as the noblest government in the world, and certainly the one most suited to England.
Benjamin Disraeli
Beware of endeavoring to become a great man in a hurry. One such attempt in ten thousand may succeed. These are fearful odds.
Benjamin Disraeli
