A nation has a fixed quantity of invention, and it will make itself felt.

Benjamin Disraeli 809 quotes

You cannot choose between par...

You cannot choose between party government and Parliamentary government. I say, you can have no Parliamentary government if you have no party government; and, therefore, when gentlemen denounce party government, they strike at the scheme of government which, in my opinion, has made this country great, and which I hope will keep it great.

No one but an adventurous traveler can know the luxury of sleep.

It has been said that the people of this country are deeply interested in the humanitarian and philanthropic considerations involved in [the Eastern Question]. All must appreciate such feelings. But I am mistaken if there be not a yet deeper sentiment on the part of the people of this country, one with which I cannot doubt your lordships will ever sympathise, and that is - the determination to maintain the Empire of England.

Nine-tenths of all existing books are nonsense.

Gentl, I am a party man. I believe that, without party, Parliamentary government is impossible. I look upon Parliamentary government as the noblest government in the world, and certainly the one most suited to England.

Why should one say that the machine does not live? It breathes, for its breath forms the atmosphere of some towns.

Benjamin Disraeli 809 quotes

The divine right of kings may have been a plea for feeble tyrants, but the divine right of government is the keystone of human progress, and without it governments sink into police, and a nation is degraded into a mob.

A new acquaintance is like a new book. I prefer it, even if bad, to a classic.

You behold a range of exhausted volcanoes. Not a flame flickers on a single pallid crest.

Lady Lytton rules her husband, but that I suppose is always the case where marriages are what is called 'happy'.

The world is devoted to physical science, because it believes theses discoveries will increase its capacity of luxury and self-indulgence. But the pursuit of science only leads to the insoluble.

Benjamin Disraeli 809 quotes

I was told, continued Egremon...

I was told, continued Egremont, that an impassable gulf divided the Rich from the Poor; I was told that the Privileged and the People formed Two Nations, governed by different laws, influenced by different manners, with no thoughts or sympathies in common; with an innate inability of mutual comprehension.
