Freedom without virtue is not...

Freedom without virtue is not freedom but license to pursue whatever passions prevail in the intemperate mind; man's right to freedom being in exact proportion to his willingness to put chains upon his own appetites; the less restraint from within, the more must be imposed from without.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

The great inlet by which a co...

The great inlet by which a colour for oppression has entered into the world is by one man's pretending to determine concerning the happiness of another.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

To speak of atrocious crime i...

To speak of atrocious crime in mild language is treason to virtue.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

People crushed by law, have n...

People crushed by law, have no hopes but from power. If laws are their enemies, they will be enemies to laws; and those who have much hope and nothing to lose, will always be dangerous.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

True religion is the foundation of society. When that is once shaken by contempt, the whole fabric cannot be stable nor lasting.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

Those who don't know history are destined to repeat it.

All men have equal rights, but not to equal things.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

The great difference between ...

The great difference between the real leader and the pretender is that the one sees into the future, while the other regards only the present; the one lives by the day, and acts upon expediency; the other acts on enduring principles and for the immortality.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

There is a wide difference be...

There is a wide difference between admiration and love. The sublime, which is the cause of the former, always dwells on great objects and terrible; the latter on small ones and pleasing; we submit to what we admire, but we love what submits to us: in one case we are forced, in the other, we are flattered, into compliance.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

A kind Providence has placed ...

A kind Providence has placed in our breasts a hatred of the unjust and cruel, in order that we may preserve ourselves from cruelty and injustice. They who bear cruelty, are accomplices in it. The pretended gentleness which excludes that charitable rancour, produces an indifference which is half an approbation. They never will love where they ought to love, who do not hate where they ought to hate.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

Adversity is a severe instruc...

Adversity is a severe instructor, set over us by one who knows us better than we do ourselves, as he loves us better too. He that wrestles with us strengthens our nerves and sharpens our skill. Our antagonist is our helper. This conflict with difficulty makes us acquainted with our object, and compels us to consider it in all its relations. It will not suffer us to be superficial.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

The only infallible criterion of wisdom to vulgar minds - success.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

All persons possessing any po...

All persons possessing any portion of power ought to be strongly and awfully impressed with an idea that they act in trust, and that they are to account for their conduct in that trust to the one great Master, Author, and Founder of society.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

Applaud us when we run, Console us when we fall, Cheer us when we recover.

By hating vices too much, they come to love men too little.

Early and provident fear is the mother of safety.

[Slavery] is a weed that grows in every soil.

The marketplace obliges men, whether they will or not, in pursuing their own selfish interests, to connect the general good with their own individual success.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

In a free country every man t...

In a free country every man thinks he has a concern in all public matters,--that he has a right to form and a right to deliver an opinion on them. This it is that fills countries with men of ability in all stations.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

Reflect how you are to govern...

Reflect how you are to govern a people who think they ought to be free, and think they are not. Your scheme yields no revenue; it yields nothing but discontent, disorder, disobedience; and such is the state of America, that after wading through up to your eyes in blood, you could only end up where you begun; that is, to tax where no revenue is to be found... all is confusion beyond it.
