What It Means

It interprets "[He is] one of the heroes of the struggle, one of the ablest men they had and the most courageous Member who had ever been returned. ... He had made sacrifices and had run risks which few realised in the part which he had taken in this struggle—the greatest that England had passed through, he thought, for a century." in the context of "David Lloyd George, referring to their opposition to the Boer War in a speech in Scott's constituency of Leigh (November 1901), quoted in The Political Diaries of C. P. Scott, 1911–1928, ed. Trevor Wilson (1970), pp. 28-29" to mean that wisdom is timeless.
