I see before me the statue of a celebrated minister, who said that confidence was a plant of slow growth. But I believe, however gradual may be the growth of confidence, that of credit requires still more time to arrive at maturity.
Benjamin Disraeli
The difference between talent and genius is this: while the former usually develops some special branch of our faculties, the latter commands them all. When the former is combined with tact, it is often more than a match for the latter.
Benjamin Disraeli

Benjamin Disraeli
I have begun several times many things, and I have often succeeded at last.
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

Benjamin Disraeli
The Jews are a nervous people. Nineteen centuries of Christian love have taken a toll.
Benjamin Disraeli
The eyes of the social herd, who always observe little things, and generally form from them their opinions of great affairs.
Benjamin Disraeli
It is the fashion to style the present moment an extraordinary crisis.
Benjamin Disraeli
I have lived long enough to know that the evening glow of love has its own riches and splendour.
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
The praise of a fool is incense to the wisest of us . . .
Benjamin Disraeli
Eloquence is the child of knowledge. When a mind is full, like a wholesome river, it is also clear.
