Art is a partnership not only...

Art is a partnership not only between those who are living but between those who are dead and those who are yet to be born.

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.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

[Slavery] is a weed that grow...

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

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

The marketplace obliges men, ...

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

Early and provident fear is the mother of safety.

An appearance of delicacy, and even fragility, is almost essential to beauty.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

Vice incapacitates a man from...

Vice incapacitates a man from all public duty; it withers the powers of his under- standing, and makes his mind paralytic.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

An entire life of solitude co...

An entire life of solitude contradicts the purpose of our being, since death itself is scarcely an idea of more terror.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

As mankind becomes more enlig...

As mankind becomes more enlightened to know their real interests, they will esteem the value of agriculture; they will find it in their natural--their destined occupation.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

Greater mischief happens ofte...

Greater mischief happens often from folly, meanness, and vanity than from the greater sins of avarice and ambition.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

We are in a war of a peculiar...

We are in a war of a peculiar nature. It is not with an ordinary community, which is hostile or friendly as passion or as interest may veer about: not with a state which makes war through wantonness, and abandons it through lassitude. We are at war with a system, which by its essence, is inimical to all other governments, and which makes peace or war, as peace and war may best contribute to their subversion. It is with an armed doctrine that we are at war. It has, by its essence, a faction of opinion, and of interest, and of enthusiasm, in every country.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

Pleasure of every kind quickl...

Pleasure of every kind quickly satisfies.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

The moment you abate anything...

The moment you abate anything from the full rights of men to each govern himself, and suffer any artificial positive limitation upon those rights, from that moment the whole organization of government becomes a consideration of convenience.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

Whatever is fitted in any sor...

Whatever is fitted in any sort to excite the ideas of pain and danger, that is to say, whatever is in any sort terrible, or is conversant about terrible objects, or operates in a manner analogous to terror, is a source of the sublime; that is, it is productive of the strongest emotion which the mind is capable of feeling... When danger or pain press too nearly, they are incapable of giving any delight, and are simply terrible; but at certain distances, and with certain modifications, they may be, and they are, delightful, as we every day experience.

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.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

Those who quit their proper c...

Those who quit their proper character to assume what does not belong to them are, for the greater part, ignorant both of the character they leave and of the character they assume.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

I have not yet lost a feeling...

I have not yet lost a feeling of wonder, and of delight, that the delicate motion should reside in all the things around us, revealing itself only to him who looks for it.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

The starry heaven, though it ...

The starry heaven, though it occurs so very frequently to our view, never fails to excite an idea of grandeur. This cannot be owing to the stars themselves, separately considered. The number is certainly the cause. The apparent disorder augments the grandeur, for the appearance of care is highly contrary to our ideas of magnificence. Besides, the stars lie in such apparent confusion, as makes it impossible on ordinary occasions to reckon them. This gives them the advantage of a sort of infinity.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

The science of constructing a...

The science of constructing a commonwealth or renovating it, or reforming it, is...not to be taught a priori...That which in the first instance is prejudicial may be excellent in its remoter operation, and its excellence may rise even from the ill effects it produces in the beginning. The reverse also happens; and very plausible schemes, with very pleasing commencements, have often shameful and lamentable conclusions.
