It is the lot of man to suffer...

It is the lot of man to suffer; it is also his fortune to forget. Oblivion and sorrow share our being, as darkness and light divide the course of time.

Principle is ever my motto, no expediency.

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.

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.

Religion is civilization, the highest.

Religion should be the rule of life, not a casual incident in it.

It is a great mistake to suppose that bribery and corruption, although they may be very convenient for gratifying the ambition or the vanity of individuals, have any great effect upon the fortunes or the power of parties. And it is a great mistake to suppose that bribery and corruption are means by which power can either be ob-tained or retained.

To a mother, a child is everything; but to a child, a parent is only a link in the chain of her existence.

Benjamin Disraeli 809 quotes

England is a domestic country....

England is a domestic country. Here the home is revered and the hearth sacred. The nation is represented by a family,--the Royal family,--and if that family is educated with a sense of responsibility and a sentiment of public duty, it is difficult to exaggerate the salutary influence it may exercise over a nation.

Benjamin Disraeli 809 quotes

The Continent will not suffer England to be the workshop of the world.

Benjamin Disraeli 809 quotes

Proverbs were anterior to boot...

Proverbs were anterior to boots, and formed the wisdom of the vulgar, and in the earliest ages were the unwritten laws of morality.

Fame has eagle wings, and yet ...

Fame has eagle wings, and yet she mounts not so high as man's desires.

Benjamin Disraeli 809 quotes

A man's fate is his own temper...

A man's fate is his own temper; and according to that will be his opinion as to the particular manner in which the course of events is regulated. A consistent man believes in destiny, a capricious man in chance.

Benjamin Disraeli 809 quotes

A female friend, amiable, clev...

A female friend, amiable, clever, and devoted, is a possession more valuable than parks and palaces; and without such a muse, few men can succeed in life, none be contented.

Benjamin Disraeli 809 quotes

Generally speaking, among sens...

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

I look upon parliamentary gove...

I look upon parliamentary government as the noblest government in the world, and certainly one most suited to England. But without the discipline of political connection, animated by the principle of private honor, I feel certain that a popular assembly would sink before the power or the corruption of a minister.
