Benjamin Disraeli Party Quotations

Things must be done by parties, not by persons using parties as tools.

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

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.

I believe that, without party, Parliamentary government is impossible.

Gentlemen, the Tory party, unless it is a national party, is nothing.

Party is organized opinion.

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.

Coquettes are, but too rare. It is a career that requires great abilities, infinite pains, a gay and airy spirit. 'T is the coquette who provides all the amusements,--suggests the riding-party, plans the picnic, gives and guesses charades, acts them.

Damn your principles! Stick to your party.

It is well-known what a middleman is: he is a man who bamboozles one party and plunders the other.

There are few positions less inspiriting than those of a discomfited party.

I pride myself in recognizing and upholding ability in every party and wherever I meet it.

And it is a great mistake to suppose that bribery and corruption are means by which power can either be ob-tained or retained.
