William E. Gladstone
The resources of civilization are not yet exhausted.
William E. Gladstone
You cannot fight against future. Time is on its side.
William E. Gladstone
[The British constitution] presumes more boldly than any other the good sense and the good faith of those who work it.
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
It is difficult to see anything but infatuation in the destructive temperament which leads to the action ... that each of us is to rejoice that our several units are to be distinguished at death into countless millions of organisms for such, it seems, is the latest revelation delivered from the fragile tripod of a modern Delphi.
William E. Gladstone
Nothing more surely cultivates and embellishes a man than association with refined and virtuous women.
William E. Gladstone
Liberalism is trust of the people tempered by prudence. Conservatism is distrust of the people tempered by fear.
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 disease of an evil conscience is beyond the practice of all the physicians of all the countries in the would.
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
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
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
Books are delightful society. If you go into a room and find it full of books - even without taking them from the shelves they seem to speak to you, to bid you welcome.
William E. Gladstone
Is not that state a warning and a judgment for our heavy sins as a nation?
William E. Gladstone
My only hope for the world is in bringing the human mind into contact with divine revelation.
William E. Gladstone
Show me the manner in which a nation or a community cares for its dead and I will measure with mathematical exactness the tender sympathies of its people, their respect for the laws of the land and their loyalty to high ideals.
William E. Gladstone
Mediocrity is now, as formerly, dangerous, commonly fatal, to the poet but among even the successful writers of prose, those who rise sensibly above it are the very rarest exceptions.
William E. Gladstone
I venture on assuring you that I regard the design formed by you and your friends with sincere interest, and in particular wish well to all the efforts you may make on behalf of individual freedom and independence as opposed to what is termed Collectivism.
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
