Books are delightful society. If you go into a room and find it full of books - even without taking them from the shelves they seem to speak to you, to bid you welcome.
William E. Gladstone
The errors of former times are recorded for our instruction in order that we may avoid their repition.

William E. Gladstone
Never forget that the purpose for which a man lives is the improvement of the man himself, so that he may go out of this world having, in his great sphere or his small one, done some little good for his fellow creatures and labored a little to diminish the sin and sorrow that are in the world.
William E. Gladstone

It is no use for the honorable member to shake his head in the teeth of his own words.
William E. Gladstone

William E. Gladstone
I think that the principle of the Conservative Party is jealousy of liberty and of the people, only qualified by fear but I think the principle of the Liberal Party is trust in the people, only qualified by prudence.
William E. Gladstone
I am inclined to say that the personal attendance and intervention of women in election proceedings, even apart from any suspicion of the wider objects of many of the promoters of the present movement, would be a practical evil not only of the gravest, but even of an intolerable character.
William E. Gladstone
You cannot fight against future. Time is on its side.
William E. Gladstone
Commerce is the equalizer of the wealth of nations.
William E. Gladstone
There should be a sympathy with freedom, a desire to give it scope, founded not upon visionary ideas, but upon the long experience of many generations within the shores of this happy isle, that in freedom you lay the firmest foundations both of loyalty and order.
William E. Gladstone
I venture on assuring you that I regard the design formed by you and your friends with sincere interest, and in particular wish well to all the efforts you may make on behalf of individual freedom and independence as opposed to what is termed Collectivism.
William E. Gladstone
The disease of an evil conscience is beyond the practice of all the physicians of all the countries in the would.
William E. Gladstone
I have known ninety-five of the world's great men in my time, and of these eighty-seven were followers of the Bible.
William E. Gladstone
