More quotes by William E. Gladstone
Liberalism is trust of the people tempered by prudence. Conservatism is distrust of the people tempered by fear.
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
The American Revolution was a vindication of liberties inherited and possessed. It was a conservative revolution.
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
Good laws make it easier to do right and harder to do wrong.
William E. Gladstone
I was tenaciously opposed by the governor and deputy-governor of the Bank, who had seats in parliament, and I had the City for an antagonist on almost every occasion.
William E. Gladstone
We look forward to the time when the Power of Love will replace the Love of Power. Then will our world know the blessings of peace.
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
To serve Armenia is to serve civilization.
William E. Gladstone
Economy is the first and great article (economy such as I understand it) in my financial creed. The controversy between direct and indirect taxation holds a minor, though important place.
William E. Gladstone
If Germany is to become a colonizing power, all I say is, God speed her! She becomes our ally and partner in the execution of the great purposes of Providence for the advantage of mankind.
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.
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
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 idea of abolishing Income Tax is to me highly attractive, both on other grounds and because it tends to public economy.
William E. Gladstone
Decision by majorities is as much an expedient as lighting by gas.
William E. Gladstone
One example is worth a thousand arguments.
William E. Gladstone
Is not that state a warning and a judgment for our heavy sins as a nation?
William E. Gladstone
To be engaged in opposing wrong affords...but a slender guarantee for being right.
William E. Gladstone
From the time I took office as Chancellor of the Exchequer, I began to learn that the State held, in the face of the Bank and the City, an essentially false position as to finance. The Government itself was not to be a substantive power, but was to leave the Money Power supreme and unquestioned.
William E. Gladstone
