More quotes by William E. Gladstone
Be happy with what you have and are, be generous with both, and you won't have to hunt for happiness.
William E. Gladstone

William E. Gladstone

William E. Gladstone

William E. Gladstone

William E. Gladstone
Good laws make it easier to do right and harder to do wrong.
William E. Gladstone
I am certain, from experience, of the immense advantage of strict account-keeping in early life. It is just like learning the grammar then, which when once learned need not be referred to afterwards.
William E. Gladstone
It is the duty of government to make it difficult for people to do wrong, easy to do right.
William E. Gladstone
Here is my first principle of foreign policy: good government at home.
William E. Gladstone
One example is worth a thousand arguments.
William E. Gladstone
Letter to the committee in charge of the celebration of the centennial of the American Constitution. I have always regarded that Constitution as the most remarkable work known to me in modern times to have been produced by the human intellect, at a single stroke (so to speak), in its application to political affairs.
William E. Gladstone
To be engaged in opposing wrong affords...but a slender guarantee for being right.
