A rational reaction against irrational excesses and vagaries of skepticism may * * * readily degenerate into the rival folly of credulity.

Decision by majorities is as much an expedient as lighting by gas.

The resources of civilization are not yet exhausted.

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 Gladstone 80 quotes

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 Gladstone 80 quotes

Economy is the first and great...

Economy is the first and great article (economy such as I understand it) in my financial creed. The controversy between direct and indirect taxation holds a minor, though important place.

William Gladstone 80 quotes

Be thorough in all you do; and remember that although ignorance often may be innocent, pretension is always despicable.

William Gladstone 80 quotes

Budgets are not merely affairs...

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.

To be engaged in opposing wrong affords but a slender guarantee for being right.

Man is to be trained chiefly by studying and by knowing man.

The idea of abolishing Income ...

The idea of abolishing Income Tax is to me highly attractive, both on other grounds & because it tends to public economy.

William Gladstone 80 quotes

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 Gladstone 80 quotes

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 Gladstone 80 quotes

I venture on assuring you that...

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 Gladstone 80 quotes

The hopelessness of the Turkis...

The hopelessness of the Turkish Government should make me witness with delight its being swept out of the countries which it tortures. Next to the Ottoman Government nothing can be more deplorable and blameworthy than jealousies between Greek and Slav and plans by the States already existing for appropriating other territory. Why not Macedonia for the Macedonians as well as Bulgaria for the Bulgarians and Serbia for the Serbians?

William Gladstone 80 quotes

Is not that state a warning and a judgment for our heavy sins as a nation?

William Gladstone 80 quotes

I am certain, from experience,...

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.

To serve Armenia is to serve civilization.

I was tenaciously opposed by the governor and deputy-governor of the Bank, who had seats in parliament, and I had the City for an antagonist on almost every occasion.

William Gladstone 80 quotes

To call a man a characteristic...

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.
