More quotes by William E. Gladstone
Man is to be trained chiefly by studying and by knowing man.
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
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
One example is worth a thousand arguments.
William E. Gladstone
Commerce is the equalizer of the wealth of nations.
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
Justice delayed is justice denied.
William E. Gladstone
Selfishness is the greatest curse of the human race.
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
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
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
Decision by majorities is as much an expedient as lighting by gas.
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
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
National injustice is the surest road to national downfall.
William E. Gladstone
To serve Armenia is to serve civilization.
William E. Gladstone
The American Revolution was a vindication of liberties inherited and possessed. It was a conservative revolution.
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
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
