Benjamin Disraeli
A Conservative Government is an organized hypocrisy.
Benjamin Disraeli
Benjamin Disraeli
A consistent soul believes in destiny, a capricious one in chance.
Benjamin Disraeli
A great city, whose image dwells in the memory of man, is the type of some great idea. Rome represents conquest; Faith hovers over the towers of Jerusalem; and Athens embodies the pre-eminent quality of the antique world, Art.
Benjamin Disraeli
A majority is always better than the best repartee.
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
A precedent embalms a principle.
Benjamin Disraeli
A University should be a place of light, of liberty, and of learning.
Benjamin Disraeli
Action may not always bring happiness; but there is no happiness without action.
Benjamin Disraeli
Adventures are to the adventurous.
Benjamin Disraeli
Almost everything that is great has been done by youth.
Benjamin Disraeli
An author who speaks about their own books is almost as bad as a mother who speaks about her own children.

Benjamin Disraeli
As for our majority... one is enough.
Benjamin Disraeli
Assassination has never changed the history of the world.
Benjamin Disraeli
Be amusing: never tell unkind stories; above all, never tell long ones.
Benjamin Disraeli
Beware of endeavoring to become a great man in a hurry. One such attempt in ten thousand may succeed. These are fearful odds.
Benjamin Disraeli
Change is inevitable. Change is constant.
Benjamin Disraeli
Characters do not change. Opinions alter, but characters are only developed.
Benjamin Disraeli
Circumstances are beyond human control, but our conduct is in our own power.
Benjamin Disraeli
Colonies do not cease to be colonies because they are independent.
