More quotes by 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
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
It is no use for the honorable member to shake his head in the teeth of his own words.
William E. Gladstone
No one ever became great except through many and great mistakes.
William E. Gladstone
All the world over, I will back the masses against the classes.
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
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
The idea of abolishing Income Tax is to me highly attractive, both on other grounds and because it tends to public economy.
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
Censure and criticism never hurt anybody. If false, they can't hurt you unless you are wanting in manly character and if true, they show a man his weak points, and forewarn him against failure and trouble.
William E. Gladstone
Avarice, where it has full dominion, excludes every other passion.
William E. Gladstone
Remember the rights of the savage, as we call him. Remember that the happiness of his humble home, remember that the sanctity of life in the hill villages of Afghanistan, among the winter snows, is as inviolable in the eye of Almighty God, as can be your own.
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
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 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
Commerce is the equalizer of the wealth of nations.
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
Thrift of time will repay you in after-life with a thousandfold of profit beyond your most sanguine dreams.
William E. Gladstone
Liberalism is trust of the people tempered by prudence. Conservatism is distrust of the people tempered by fear.
William E. Gladstone
Nothing that is morally wrong can be politically right.
William E. Gladstone
