More quotes by William E. Gladstone
Good laws make it easier to do right and harder to do wrong.
William E. Gladstone
Be happy with what you have and are, be generous with both, and you won't have to hunt for happiness.
William E. Gladstone
Nothing more surely cultivates and embellishes a man than association with refined and virtuous women.
William E. Gladstone
If Germany is to become a colonizing power, all I say is, God speed her! She becomes our ally and partner in the execution of the great purposes of Providence for the advantage of mankind.
William E. Gladstone
Commerce is the equalizer of the wealth of nations.
William E. Gladstone
Selfishness is the greatest curse of the human race.
William E. Gladstone
You cannot fight against future. Time is on its side.
William E. Gladstone
Budgets are not merely affairs of arithmetic, but in a thousand ways go to the root of prosperity of individuals, the relation of classes and the strength of kingdoms.
William E. Gladstone
I venture to say that every man who is not presumably incapacitated by some consideration of personal unfitness or of political danger is morally entitled to come within the pale of the Constitution.
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
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
No one ever became great except through many and great mistakes.
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
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 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
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
The ravages of drink are greater than those of war pestilence and famine combined.
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
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
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.
