More quotes by 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
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 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
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
It is the duty of government to make it difficult for people to do wrong, easy to do right.
William E. Gladstone
The resources of civilization are not yet exhausted.
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
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
Be inspired with the belief that life is a great and noble calling not a mean and groveling thing that we are to shuffle through as we can, but an elevated and lofty destiny.
William E. Gladstone
I have known ninety-five of the world's great men in my time, and of these eighty-seven were followers of the Bible.
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 disease of an evil conscience is beyond the practice of all the physicians of all the countries in the would.
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
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
I am certain, from experience, of the immense advantage of strict account-keeping in early life. It is just like learning the grammar then, which when once learned need not be referred to afterwards.
William E. Gladstone
The errors of former times are recorded for our instruction in order that we may avoid their repition.
William E. Gladstone
No one ever became great except through many and great mistakes.
William E. Gladstone
Ireland, Ireland. That cloud in the west, that coming storm. That minister of God's retribution upon cruel, inveterate, and but half-atoned injustice! Ireland forces upon us those great social and great religious questions. God grant that we may have courage to look them in the face!
William E. Gladstone
You cannot fight against future. Time is on its side.
