The affections are the children of ignorance; when the horizon of our experience expands, and models multiply, love and admiration imperceptibly vanish.

Benjamin Disraeli 809 quotes

Doubt is an element of criticism, and the tendency of criticism is necessarily skeptical.

'A sound Conservative government,' said Taper, musingly. 'I understand: Tory men and Whig measures.'

The conduct of men depends upon their temperament, not upon a bunch of musty maxims.

Benjamin Disraeli 809 quotes

The constitution of England i...

The constitution of England is not a paper constitution. It is an aggregate of institutions, many of them founded merely upon prescription, some of them fortified by muniments, but all of them the fruit and experience of an ancient and illustrious people.

Benjamin Disraeli 809 quotes

Generally speaking, among sen...

Generally speaking, among sensible persons, it would seem that a rich man deems that friend a sincere one who does not want to borrow his money; while, among the less favored with fortune's gifts, the sincere friend is generally esteemed to be the individual who is ready to lend it.

Benjamin Disraeli 809 quotes

What is wanted in architectur...

What is wanted in architecture, as in so many things, is a man. ... One suggestion might be made-no profession in England has done its duty until it has furnished a victim. ... Even our boasted navy never achieved a great victory until we shot an admiral. Suppose an architect were hanged? Terror has its inspiration, as well as competition.

Benjamin Disraeli 809 quotes

No man will treat with indiff...

No man will treat with indifference the principle of race. It is the key to history, and why history is often so confused is that it has been written by men who are ignorant of this principle and all the knowledge it involves. . . Language and religion do not make a race--there is only one thing which makes a race, and that is blood.

If confidence is a plant of slow growth, credit is one which matures much more slowly.

Benjamin Disraeli 809 quotes

Is man an ape or an angel? Now I am on the side of the angels.

The enterprise of America precedes that of Europe, as the industry of England precedes that of the rest of Europe.

Benjamin Disraeli 809 quotes

You must originate, and you must sympathize; yon must possess, at the same time, the habit of communicating and the habit of listening. The union is rather rare, but irresistible.

The Egremonts had never said anything that was remembered, or done anything that could be recalled.

Benjamin Disraeli 809 quotes

Accent and emphasis are the pith of reading; punctuation is but secondary.

Benjamin Disraeli 809 quotes

And it is a singular truth th...

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 809 quotes

Nature is more powerful than education; time will develop everything.

Benjamin Disraeli 809 quotes

I am a Conservative to preserve all that is good in our constitution, a Radical to remove all that is bad. I seek to preserve property and to respect order, and I equally decry the appeal to the passions of the many or the prejudices of the few.
