William Gladstone

UK Liberal Prime Minister 🇬🇧

'Selfishness is the greatest curse of the human race'

[William Gladstone @willygladstone_]

"No one became great except through many and great mistakes"

I was thinking about that earlier, I think this is incredible true

[William Gladstone @willygladstone_]

@MillicentFawctt Thank you so much!!

[William Gladstone @willygladstone_]

"Nothing that is morally wrong can be politically right"
With this sentence (in my first speech as a prime minister), I started my candidature this year, and I hope my collegues and I can make it true.

[William Gladstone @willygladstone_]

@_lewiscarroll Thank you very much man!! I hope I can make people's expectations true and be a good and humble prime minister

[William Gladstone @willygladstone_]

@_lewiscarroll Yeah absolutely!! We should meet in person some day :)

[William Gladstone @willygladstone_]

@_lewiscarroll I also like your way of thinking Mr Carrol!!

Selfishness is really horrible and we should change that as fast as posible

I've read 'through the looking glass' and I really think it has a good metaphorical meaning of how we see the reality in another way

[William Gladstone @willygladstone_]

@_lewiscarroll And as I said in one of my multiple speeches: "Selfishness is the greatest curse of the human race"

[William Gladstone @willygladstone_]

@_lewiscarroll Yeah, completely agree, I think I could tell you some names of polititians with that ideology...
And it's really sad and selfish to ignore what is happening to your own population just to don't have political problems

[William Gladstone @willygladstone_]

@_lewiscarroll Of course! Actual polititians have to be updated in new novels to keep our minds modernize

[William Gladstone @willygladstone_]

That is an extract of one of my speches that I did 2 years ago, in the House of Commons. And I really think is true...

[William Gladstone @willygladstone_]

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

[William Gladstone @willygladstone_]

@op_27_no_1 @MillicentFawctt Oh my god, you are so childish

[William Gladstone @willygladstone_]

@MillicentFawctt @op_27_no_1 Yeah, I'm sorry for the population to see us debate like that, but Mr Disraeli doesn't know how to resolve his differences with me in another way
I apologize

[William Gladstone @willygladstone_]

@op_27_no_1 @MillicentFawctt Well, Mr. Disraeli, maybe it is better that you learn to tie your mouth before speaking to me in that way, oh or maybe you do not know how to moderate your words?

[William Gladstone @willygladstone_]

@op_27_no_1 @MillicentFawctt Mr Disraeli, you really have nothing else to do in your boring life than to explain to me some terms that I, obviously understand, and that I have simply written them wrong.
Do you need me to call someone to entertain you for a while?

[William Gladstone @willygladstone_]

@aleckthebellman That's a really good reasoning! We should open our minds to make more discoveries

[William Gladstone @willygladstone_]

@op_27_no_1 @MillicentFawctt You really have a problem with me not understanding things, have you? Maybe it's you who doesn't understand because your mind is all full with ideas of how to get more power, don't you Mr conservatism?

[William Gladstone @willygladstone_]

@op_27_no_1 @MillicentFawctt Yeah Disraeli, but that's exactly why liberalism is against dictatorships... Because we believe that the state should't have so much power over the population, as dictatorships do

[William Gladstone @willygladstone_]

@MillicentFawctt @op_27_no_1 Yes, that is exactly so. We, liberals believe that there should be a state to lead the people and organize the country, but the members of that state should have the same rights as the rest of the population and, in this way, try to eliminate social classes
