When I want to read a novel, I write one.

Benjamin Disraeli 809 quotes

A good eater must be a good ma...

A good eater must be a good man; for a good eater must have a good digestion, and a good digestion depends upon a good conscience.

Benjamin Disraeli 809 quotes

We can know nothing of humanki...

We can know nothing of humankind without knowing something of ourselves. Self-knowledge is the property of those people whose passions have their full play, but who ponder over their results.

Benjamin Disraeli 809 quotes

I will not go down to posterit...

I will not go down to posterity talking bad grammar.

Benjamin Disraeli 809 quotes

If you establish a democracy, ...

If you establish a democracy, you must in due time reap the fruits of a democracy. You will in due season have great impatience of public burdens, combined in due season with great increase of public expenditure. You will in due season have wars entered into from passion and not from reason; and you will in due season submit to peace ignominiously sought and ignominiously obtained, which will diminish your authority and perhaps endanger your independence. You will in due season find your property is less valuable, and

Eloquence is the child of knowledge.

Benjamin Disraeli 809 quotes

No one for a moment can preten...

No one for a moment can pretend that printing is so great a discovery as writing, or algebra as a language.

Lord Salisbury and myself have brought you back peace--but a peace I hope with honour.

Benjamin Disraeli 809 quotes

Consider Ireland.... You have ...

Consider Ireland.... You have a starving population, an absentee aristocracy, and an alien Church, and in addition the weakest executive in the world. That is the Irish Question.

Benjamin Disraeli 809 quotes

Man is a being born to believe...

Man is a being born to believe. And if no church comes forward with its title-deeds of truth to guide him, he will find altars and idols in his own heart and his own imagination.

Benjamin Disraeli 809 quotes

The affections are the childre...

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

You must not contrast too stro...

You must not contrast too strongly the hours of courtship with the years of possession.

Benjamin Disraeli 809 quotes

The difference between talent ...

The difference between talent and genius is this: while the former usually develops some special branch of our faculties, the latter commands them all. When the former is combined with tact, it is often more than a match for the latter.

Benjamin Disraeli 809 quotes

Taste, when once obtained, may...

Taste, when once obtained, may be said to be no acquiring faculty, and must remain stationary; but knowledge is of perpetual growth and has infinite demands. Taste, like an artificial canal, winds through a beautiful country, but its borders are confined and its term is limited. Knowledge navigates the ocean, and is perpetually on voyages of discovery.

Benjamin Disraeli 809 quotes

There is a thread in our thoug...

There is a thread in our thoughts as there is a pulse in our feelings; he who can hold the one knows how to think, and he who can move the other knows how to feel.

Benjamin Disraeli 809 quotes

Twilight makes us pensive; Aurora is the goddess of activity; despair curses at midnight; hope blesses at noon.

Benjamin Disraeli 809 quotes

Whatever they did, the Elysian...

Whatever they did, the Elysians were careful never to be vehement.

Benjamin Disraeli 809 quotes

The character of a woman rapid...

The character of a woman rapidly develops after marriage, and sometimes seems to change, when in fact it is only complete.

Benjamin Disraeli 809 quotes

Everything in this world depends upon will.

I rather like bad wine; one gets so bored with good wine.
