This kind of success, just as all levels of success, is about setting goals and never letting them out of sight.

Disraeli is often associated as one of the key drivers of British Imperialism at a time of great expansion, including the Scramble for Africa in the late 19th Century. His speech in 1872 (on the 3rd April in Manchester and on 24th June at Crystal Palace) asserted a need for an active foreign policy, the importance of colonies, and for Britain to continue to play a key role on the world stage. But much of the speech, as with so much of Disraeli’s work, lacked both detail and
Carl Sandburg once said “Time is the coin of your life. It is the only coin you have, and only you can determine how it will be spent. Be careful lest you let other people spend it for you.” This quote hits home every time I think of a particular place, somewhere nearly every American adult has had the misfortune of spending a day.

Why Disraeli Passed the 1867 Second Reform Act The 1867 Second Reform Act was an extremely intelligent piece of politics and demonstrated how clever Disraeli was as a politician, the act itself would enable Disraeli to the gain power amongst the Commons. With the death of Palmerston in 1865 the question of Reform was immediately back on agenda.

“The objective of establishing the Conservative Party as a party of government explains most of the actions of Disraeli in passing the 1867 reform act” This interpretation of Disraeli’s motives highlights the idea of whether Disraeli passed the second Reform act through passion or merely to further his political career and boost the profile of the
and subsequent historians. Historiography on the subject was, and still is divided, largely around differing interpretations of Disraeli and his impact on the Conservative party. To some, Disraeli’s rhetoric and vision, if not his actions, are identified with the development of empire as a central theme of the Conservative party. Others, criticizing the ‘legend of Disraeli’ place this change later, often arguing that it is the second Salisbury administration that displays a new and distinctive Conservative

Cream includes this song as the last track on “Disraeli Gears”; the recording sounds very unpolished and casual, and begins with one of the singers asking “Are we rolling?”, and ends with him asking “Do you want to do it again?”.

somewhere they never wanted to be. Benjamin Disraeli had that figured out when he said “youth is a blunder; manhood a struggle, and old age a regret.” He stated the fact that even if someone ends up with the sweetest life anyone could ever imagine, it is still not where they imagined themselves being. Youth is a blunder. In and of itself these words should be a solid foundation for failure, but they are not. Blunder means a stupid or careless mistake. Mr. Disraeli says that youth is a blunder but youth

definitely not ideal, outspoken and often rude he was part of the rapidly disappearing breed of MPs who regarded politics as a hobby that they indulged in for fun, probably the most memorable moment of his career was probably his leading, with Disraeli, of the protectionist opposition to Peel’s repeal of the Corn Laws; compromise was utterly alien to Bentinck’s nature. To no great surprise Bentinck soon resigned (over the “Jewish question”) .The Earl of Derby seemed to be the only suitable leader
death. The novel "A Christmas carol" by Charles Dickens shows what life was truly like for the normal, poor people. In this essay I'm going to find out if Dickens' novel, "A Christmas carol" supports the view of former Prime Minister, Benjamin Disraeli, that Britain was "Two nations… The rich and the poor." Work during the Victorian era was a tough and torrid affair. Long hours were commonplace for most Victorian people, and not a lot was paid for their services. In the story "A Christmas
