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

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.

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?”.

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

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
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
