"Here is my first principle of foreign policy: good government at home." ― William E. Gladstone Topic(s): Government More From William E. Gladstone "There should be a sympathy with freedom, a desire to give it scope, founded not upon visionary ideas, but upon the long experience of many generations within the shores of this happy isle, that in freedom you lay the firmest foundations both of loyalty and order." "Justice delayed is justice denied." "Men are apt to mistake the strength of their feeling for the strength of their argument. The heated mind resents the chill touch and relentless scrutiny of logic." More In Government "There’s naught, no doubt, so much the spirit calms as rum and true religion."― Lord Byron "People should be free, people should be unencumbered by regulation as much as possible, that big government always goes corrupt and the truth shall always set you free."― Glenn Beck "I told another ESPN friend here, I love all sports. I can’t think of any I don’t love. I’ve even come to appreciate cricket. Maybe I could play a sportswriter. I don’t know. Anything in the sports realm is appealing."― Sean Astin
