More quotes by Benjamin Disraeli
The health of the people is really the foundation upon which all their happiness and all their powers as a state depend.
Benjamin Disraeli

Benjamin Disraeli
Demagogues and agitators are very unpleasant, they are incidental to a free and constitutional country, and you must put up with these inconveniences or do without many important advantages.
Benjamin Disraeli

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
A majority is always better than the best repartee.
Benjamin Disraeli
In great cities men are brought together by the desire of gain. They are not in a state of co-operation, but of isolation, as to the making of fortunes and for all the rest they are careless of neighbors.
Benjamin Disraeli
Scientific, like spiritual truth, has ever from the beginning been descending from heaven to man.
Benjamin Disraeli
Duty cannot exist without faith
Benjamin Disraeli
The sweet simplicity of the three percents.
Benjamin Disraeli
If you're not very clever you should be conciliatory.
Benjamin Disraeli
