Benjamin Disraeli

The practice of politics in the East may be defined by one word: dissimulation.

Finality is not the language of politics.

Real politics are the possession and distribution of power.

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.

There is no act of treachery or meanness of which a political party is not capable for in politics there is no honour.

In politics nothing is contemptible.
