More quotes by 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
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
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
Man is to be trained chiefly by studying and by knowing man.
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
It is no use for the honorable member to shake his head in the teeth of his own words.
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
Nothing more surely cultivates and embellishes a man than association with refined and virtuous women.
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
To serve Armenia is to serve civilization.
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
You cannot fight against future. Time is on its side.
William E. Gladstone
One example is worth a thousand arguments.
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
He is the purest figure in history. About George Washington
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
Avarice, where it has full dominion, excludes every other passion.
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
The errors of former times are recorded for our instruction in order that we may avoid their repition.
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
