W. E. G. speaking of Gambetta said he belonged to that class of Liberals whose creed had nothing whatever to do with liberty, but only consisted of a war ag. everything that existed: the older and better established, the greater reason for its being uprooted.

What It Means

This is a placeholder explanation generated by the low-overhead model. It interprets "W. E. G. speaking of Gambetta said he belonged to that class of Liberals whose creed had nothing whatever to do with liberty, but only consisted of a war ag. everything that existed: the older and better established, the greater reason for its being uprooted." in the context of "Mary Gladstone, diary entry (31 May 1882), quoted in Mary Gladstone (Mrs. Drew): Her Diaries and Letters, ed. Lucy Masterman (1930), p. 253" to mean that wisdom is timeless.
