More quotes by Benjamin Disraeli
There is no waste of time like making excuses.
Benjamin Disraeli
Circumstances are beyond human control, but our conduct is in our own power.
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
If you want to be a leader of people, you must learn to watch events.
Benjamin Disraeli

Benjamin Disraeli

Benjamin Disraeli

Benjamin Disraeli
It shows you exactly how a star is formed nothing else can be so pretty! A cluster of vapor, the cream of the milky way, a sort of celestial cheese, churned into light.
Benjamin Disraeli
More pernicious nonsense was never devised by man than treaties of commerce.
Benjamin Disraeli
Life is too short to be little. You must enlarge your imagination and then act on it.
Benjamin Disraeli
With words we govern men.
Benjamin Disraeli
Eloquence is the child of knowledge. When a mind is full, like a wholesome river, it is also clear.
Benjamin Disraeli
The conduct of men depends upon their temperament, not upon a bunch of musty maxims.
Benjamin Disraeli
There is scarcely any popular tenet more erroneous than that which holds that when time is slow, life is dull.
Benjamin Disraeli
Life is to short to be small.
Benjamin Disraeli
The greatest of all evils is a weak government
Benjamin Disraeli
There is no index of character so sure as the voice.
