More quotes by William E. Gladstone
For works of the mind really great there is no old age, no decrepitude. It is inconceivable that a time should come when Homer, Dante, Shakespeare, should not ring in the ears of civilized man.
William E. Gladstone
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
To call a man a characteristically Oxford man is, in my opinion, to give him the highest compliment that could be paid to any human being.
William E. Gladstone
One example is worth a thousand arguments.
William E. Gladstone

William E. Gladstone
Avarice, where it has full dominion, excludes every other passion.
William E. Gladstone
The errors of former times are recorded for our instruction in order that we may avoid their repition.
William E. Gladstone

William E. Gladstone
He is the purest figure in history. About George Washington
William E. Gladstone
A rational reaction against irrational excesses and vagaries of skepticism may * * * readily degenerate into the rival folly of credulity.
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
Commerce is the equalizer of the wealth of nations.
William E. Gladstone
Is not that state a warning and a judgment for our heavy sins as a nation?
William E. Gladstone
The resources of civilization are not yet exhausted.
William E. Gladstone
To serve Armenia is to serve civilization.
William E. Gladstone
We are bound to lose Ireland in consequence of years of cruelty, stupidity and misgovernment and I would rather lose her as a friend than as a foe.
William E. Gladstone
The book must of necessity be put into a bookcase. And the bookcase must be housed. And the house must be kept. And the library must be dusted, must be arranged, must be catalogued. What a vista of toil, yet not unhappy toil!
William E. Gladstone
Thrift of time will repay you in after-life with a thousandfold of profit beyond your most sanguine dreams.
William E. Gladstone
No one ever became great except through many and great mistakes.
William E. Gladstone
