What It Means

This is a placeholder explanation generated by the low-overhead model. It interprets "Walk with Pender... His own friends, strong Liberals up to the present date...believe that Gladstone, half out of ambition and half out of sentimental sympathy, is ready to throw all the influence of the state into the scale against the employer. But while they dislike Gladstone, they are equally suspicious and afraid of Disraeli: they think him the enemy of the capitalist class." in the context of "Lord Derby, diary entry (18 September 1873), quoted in A Selection from the Diaries of Edward Henry Stanley, 15th Earl of Derby (1826-93) between September 1869 and March 1878, ed. John Vincent (1994), p. 144" to mean that wisdom is timeless.
