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

One of the hardest things in this world is to admit you are wrong. And nothing is more helpful in resolving a situation than its frank admission.

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

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

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

The difference between talent ...

We are now in want of an art to teach how books are to be read rather than to read them. Such an art is practicable.

Benjamin Disraeli 809 quotes

Some will read only old books,...

Some will read only old books, as if there were no valuable truths to be discovered in modern publications: others will only read new books, as if some valuable truths are not among the old. Some will not read a book because they know the author: others . . . would also read the man.
