More quotes by William E. Gladstone
I am inclined to say that the personal attendance and intervention of women in election proceedings, even apart from any suspicion of the wider objects of many of the promoters of the present movement, would be a practical evil not only of the gravest, but even of an intolerable character.
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
The resources of civilization are not yet exhausted.
William E. Gladstone
Man is to be trained chiefly by studying and by knowing man.
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

William E. Gladstone

William E. Gladstone
Remember the rights of the savage, as we call him. Remember that the happiness of his humble home, remember that the sanctity of life in the hill villages of Afghanistan, among the winter snows, is as inviolable in the eye of Almighty God, as can be your own.
William E. Gladstone
Men are apt to mistake the strength of their feeling for the strength of their argument. The heated mind resents the chill touch and relentless scrutiny of logic.
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
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
The American Revolution was a vindication of liberties inherited and possessed. It was a conservative revolution.
William E. Gladstone
My only hope for the world is in bringing the human mind into contact with divine revelation.
