More quotes by 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
The resources of civilization are not yet exhausted.
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
All the world over, I will back the masses against the classes.
William E. Gladstone
One example is worth a thousand arguments.
William E. Gladstone
The American Revolution was a vindication of liberties inherited and possessed. It was a conservative revolution.
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
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
Good laws make it easier to do right and harder to do wrong.
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
It is no use for the honorable member to shake his head in the teeth of his own words.
William E. Gladstone
Selfishness is the greatest curse of the human race.
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
Nothing more surely cultivates and embellishes a man than association with refined and virtuous women.
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
Liberalism is trust of the people tempered by prudence. Conservatism is distrust of the people tempered by fear.
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
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
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
Letter to the committee in charge of the celebration of the centennial of the American Constitution. I have always regarded that Constitution as the most remarkable work known to me in modern times to have been produced by the human intellect, at a single stroke (so to speak), in its application to political affairs.
William E. Gladstone
