William E. Gladstone
Censure and criticism never hurt anybody. If false, they can't hurt you unless you are wanting in manly character and if true, they show a man his weak points, and forewarn him against failure and trouble.
William E. Gladstone
Liberalism is trust of the people tempered by prudence. Conservatism is distrust of the people tempered by fear.
William E. Gladstone
Here is my first principle of foreign policy: good government at home.
William E. Gladstone
A rational reaction against the irrational excesses and vagaries of scepticism may, I admit, readily degenerate into the rival folly of credulity. To be engaged in opposing wrong affords, under the conditions of our mental constitution, but a slender guarantee for being right.
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
If you are cold, tea will warm you if you are too heated, it will cool you If you are depressed, it will cheer you If you are excited, it will calm you.
William E. Gladstone
[The British constitution] presumes more boldly than any other the good sense and the good faith of those who work it.
William E. Gladstone
Budgets are not merely affairs of arithmetic, but in a thousand ways go to the root of prosperity of individuals, the relation of classes and the strength of kingdoms.
