Herbert Gladstone, 1st Viscount Gladstone quotes
-
“Believe me when I tell you that thrift of time will repay you in after life, with a usury of profit beyond your most sanguine dreams; and that waste of it will make you dwindle, alike in intellectual and moral stature, beyond your darkest reckoning.”
-- Herbert Gladstone, 1st Viscount Gladstone -
“Of the whole sum of human life no small part is that which consists of a man's relations to his country, and his feelings concerning it.”
-- Herbert Gladstone, 1st Viscount Gladstone -
“The free expression of opinion, as experience has taught us, is the safety-valve of passion. The noise of the rushing steam, when it escapes, alarms the timid; but it is the sign that we are safe. The concession of reasonable privilege anticipates the growth of furious-appetite.”
-- Herbert Gladstone, 1st Viscount Gladstone

“Hope lies to mortals And most believe her, But man's deceiver Was never mine.”
