It is the lot of man to suffer it is also his fortune to forget. Oblivion and sorrow share our being, as darkness and light divide the course of time.

More quotes by Benjamin Disraeli
The Egremonts had never said anything that was remembered, or done anything that could be recalled.
Benjamin Disraeli

Benjamin Disraeli
England is a domestic country. Here the home is revered and the hearth sacred. The nation is represented by a family,--the Royal family,--and if that family is educated with a sense of responsibility and a sentiment of public duty, it is difficult to exaggerate the salutary influence it may exercise over a nation.
Benjamin Disraeli
Those who cannot themselves observe can at least acquire the observation of others.
Benjamin Disraeli
He who anticipates his century is generally persecuted when living, and always pilfered when dead.
Benjamin Disraeli
Never argue. In society nothing must be give only results. If any person differs from you, bow, and turn the conversation.
Benjamin Disraeli
You know who the critics are? The men who have failed in literature and art.
Benjamin Disraeli
