Monday Ménage: Liberalism. Painful Alternative. Wisdom.

Gladstone. Galbraith. Plato.

 

Liberalism is trust of the people tempered by prudence. Conservatism is distrust of the people tempered by fear. William E. Gladstone.

 

Liberalism is, I think, resurgent. One reason is that more and more people are so painfully aware of the alternative. John Kenneth Galbraith.

 

Mankind will never see an end of trouble until… lovers of wisdom come to hold political power, or the holders of power… become lovers of wisdom. Plato.
