More quotes by 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
Be happy with what you have and are, be generous with both, and you won't have to hunt for happiness.
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
Be thorough in all you do and remember that although ignorance often may be innocent, pretension is always despicable.

To be engaged in opposing wrong affords...but a slender guarantee for being right.
William E. Gladstone
Justice delayed is justice denied.
William E. Gladstone
I think that the principle of the Conservative Party is jealousy of liberty and of the people, only qualified by fear but I think the principle of the Liberal Party is trust in the people, only qualified by prudence.
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
Commerce is the equalizer of the wealth of nations.
William E. Gladstone

William E. Gladstone
We are bound to lose Ireland in consequence of years of cruelty, stupidity and misgovernment and I would rather lose her as a friend than as a foe.
William E. Gladstone
Nothing that is morally wrong can be politically right.
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
You cannot fight against future. Time is on its side.
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
It is the duty of government to make it difficult for people to do wrong, easy to do right.
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
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
To serve Armenia is to serve civilization.
William E. Gladstone
The errors of former times are recorded for our instruction in order that we may avoid their repition.
William E. Gladstone
