What we call the heart is a nervous sensation, like shyness, which gradually disappears in society. It is fervent in the nursery, strong in the domestic circle, tumultuous at school.

More quotes by Benjamin Disraeli
I have climbed to the top of the greasy pole!
Benjamin Disraeli
The noble Lord (Stanley) was the Prince Rupert to the Parliamentary army--his valour did not always serve his own cause.
Benjamin Disraeli
Patriotism depends as much on mutual suffering as on mutual success and it is by that experience of all fortunes and all feelings that a great national character is created.
Benjamin Disraeli
Nobody should ever look anxious except those who have no anxiety.
Benjamin Disraeli
Experience is the child of thought, and thought is the child of action.
Benjamin Disraeli
Here's to the man who rode the race, who took the time, who kept the time, and who did the trick.
Benjamin Disraeli
The press is not only free, it is powerful. That power is ours. It is the proudest that man can enjoy. It was not granted by monarchs, it was not gained for us by aristocracies but it sprang from the people, and, with an immortal instinct, it has always worked for the people.
Benjamin Disraeli
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
Nature has given us two ears but only one mouth.
Benjamin Disraeli
Life is to short to be small.
Benjamin Disraeli
The Jews are a nervous people. Nineteen centuries of Christian love have taken a toll.
Benjamin Disraeli
You have proved it is a very moral habit.
Benjamin Disraeli
My idea of an agreeable person is a person who agrees with me.
Benjamin Disraeli
Man is only great when he acts from passion.
Benjamin Disraeli
Though I sit down now, the time will come whenyou will hear me.
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
More pernicious nonsense was never devised by man than treaties of commerce.
Benjamin Disraeli
I am neither a Whig nor Tory. My politics are described in one word and that word is England.
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
Whatever they did, the Elysians were careful never to be vehement.
