More quotes by 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
Those who cannot themselves observe can at least acquire the observation of others.
Benjamin Disraeli
Customs may not be as wise as laws, but they are always more popular.
Benjamin Disraeli
Nobody should ever look anxious except those who have no anxiety.
Benjamin Disraeli
Extreme views are never just something always turns up which disturbs the calculations formed upon their data.
Benjamin Disraeli
The delight of opening a new pursuit, or a new course of reading, imparts the vivacity and novelty of youth even to old age.
Benjamin Disraeli
'A sound Conservative government,' said Taper, musingly. 'I understand: Tory men and Whig measures.'
Benjamin Disraeli
A man may speak very well in the House of Commons, and fail very completely in the House of Lords. There are two distinct styles requisite: I intend, in the course of my career, if I have time, to give a specimen of both.
Benjamin Disraeli
I do not understand how an aristocracy can exist, unless it be distinguished by some quality which no other class of the community possesses.
