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
All the world over, I will back the masses against the classes.
William E. Gladstone
The American Revolution was a vindication of liberties inherited and possessed. It was a conservative revolution.
William E. Gladstone
There is a limit to the work that can be got out of a human body or a human brain, and he is a wise man who wastes no energy on pursuits for which he is not fitted and he is still wiser who, from among the things that he can do well, chooses and resolut
