Image
It is the fashion to style the present moment an extraordinary crisis.
Benjamin Disraeli
Image

'A sound Conservative government,' said Taper, musingly. 'I understand: Tory men and Whig measures.'
Benjamin Disraeli
Image
The art of conversation is to be prompt without being stubborn, to refute without argument, and to clothe great matters in a motley garb.
Benjamin Disraeli
Image
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
Image
I say that justice is truth in action.
Benjamin Disraeli
Image
That youthful fervor, which is sometimes called enthusiasm, but which is a heat of imagination subsequently discovered to be inconsistent with the experience of actual life.
Benjamin Disraeli
Image
The character of a woman rapidly develops after marriage, and sometimes seems to change, when in fact it is only complete.
Benjamin Disraeli
Image
A female friend, amiable, clever, and devoted, is a possession more valuable than parks and palaces and without such a muse, few men can succeed in life, none be contented.
