More quotes by 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
Letter to the committee in charge of the celebration of the centennial of the American Constitution.

William E. Gladstone
Here is my first principle of foreign policy: good government at home.
William E. Gladstone
Good laws make it easier to do right and harder to do wrong.

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
To be engaged in opposing wrong affords...but a slender guarantee for being right.
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
No one ever became great except through many and great mistakes.
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
To serve Armenia is to serve civilization.
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
My only hope for the world is in bringing the human mind into contact with divine revelation.
William E. Gladstone
One example is worth a thousand arguments.
William E. Gladstone
Swimming for his life, a man does not see much of the country through which the river winds.
