More quotes by 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
Swimming for his life, a man does not see much of the country through which the river winds.
William E. Gladstone
The oppression of a majority is detestable and odious the oppression of a minority is only by one degree less detestable and odious.
William E. Gladstone

William E. Gladstone
Here is my first principle of foreign policy: good government at home.
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

William E. Gladstone

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
It is difficult to see anything but infatuation in the destructive temperament which leads to the action ... that each of us is to rejoice that our several units are to be distinguished at death into countless millions of organisms for such, it seems, is the latest revelation delivered from the fragile tripod of a modern Delphi.
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
All the wonders of the Greek civilization heaped together are less wonderful than the single book of Psalms. Greece had all that this world could give her but the flowers of Paradise blossomed in Palestine alone.
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
He is the purest figure in history. About George Washington
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 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
Be thorough in all you do and remember that although ignorance often may be innocent, pretension is always despicable.
William E. Gladstone
I venture to say that every man who is not presumably incapacitated by some consideration of personal unfitness or of political danger is morally entitled to come within the pale of the Constitution.
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
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
