Benjamin Disraeli

The health of the people is really the foundation upon which all their happiness and all their powers as a state depend.

Action may not always bring happiness but there is no happiness without action.

Youth is a blunder; Manhood a struggle, Old Age a regret.

You can tell the strength of a nation by the women behind its men.

Nature, like man, sometimes weeps from gladness.

The first magic of love is our ignorance that it can ever end.

We are all born for love. It is the principle of existence, and its only end.

Through perseverance many people win success out of what seemed destined to be certain failure.

Nurture your minds with great thoughts. To believe in the heroic makes heroes.

I am prepared for the worst, but hope for the best.

My objection to Liberalism is this that it is the introduction into the practical business of life of the highest kind namely, politics of philosophical ideas instead of political principles.

The world is governed by very different personages from what is imagined by those who are not behind the scenes.

Worry is a god invisible but omnipotent. It steals the bloom from the cheek and lightness from the pulse it takes away the appetite and turns the hair gray.

Time is precious but truth is more precious than time.

Travel teaches toleration.

Like all great travellers I have seen more than I remember and remember more than I have seen.

But what minutes! Count them by sensation and not by calendars and each moment is a day.

I feel a very unusual sensation - if it is not indigestion I think it must be gratitude.
