William E. Gladstone
Avarice, where it has full dominion, excludes every other passion.
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
All the world over, I will back the masses against the classes.
William E. Gladstone
Decision by majorities is as much an expedient as lighting by gas.
William E. Gladstone
You cannot fight against future. Time is on its side.
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
Thrift of time will repay you in after-life with a thousandfold of profit beyond your most sanguine dreams.
William E. Gladstone
Nothing that is morally wrong can be politically right.
William E. Gladstone
