About This Quote
During the late 19th century, William Gladstone, the former Prime Minister of Britain, made this statement in response to a campaign against “blue-blooded” families in the United Kingdom. People who were born into society had more opportunities than others. But Gladstone believed that these people did not have to accept this opportunity for themselves without working toward it.
