Pleasure of every kind quickl...

Pleasure of every kind quickly satisfies.

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

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

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

And having looked to Governme...

And having looked to Government for bread, on the very first scarcity they will turn and bite the hand that fed them.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

Economy is a distributive virtue, and consists not in saving but in selection.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

Facts are to the mind what fo...

Facts are to the mind what food is to the body. On the due digestion of the former depend the strength and wisdom of the one, just as vigor and health depend on the other. The wisest in council, the ablest in debate, and the most agreeable companion in the commerce of human life, is that man who has assimilated to his understanding the greatest number of facts.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

The superfluities of a rich n...

The superfluities of a rich nation furnish a better object of trade than the necessities of a poor one. It is the interest of the commercial world that wealth should be found everywhere.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

Equity money is dynamic and debt money is static.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

I cannot help concurring with the opinion that an absolute democracy, no more than absolute monarchy, is to be reckoned among the legitimate forms of government.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

Men who undertake considerable things, even in a regular way, ought to give us ground to presume ability.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

Society cannot exist unless a...

Society cannot exist unless a controlling power upon will and appetite be placed somewhere, and the less of it there is within, the more there must be without.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

A very great part of the mischiefs that vex the world arises from words.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

The greatest crimes do not arise from a want of feeling for others but from an over-sensibilit y for ourselves and an over-indulgence to our own desires

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

The cause of a wrong taste is...

The cause of a wrong taste is a defect of judgment.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

When you find me attempting t...

When you find me attempting to break into your house to take your plate, under any pretence whatsoever, but most of all under pretence of purity of religion and Christian charity shoot me for a robber and a hypocrite, as in that case I shall certainly be.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

Politics ought to be adjusted...

Politics ought to be adjusted not to human reasonings but to human nature, of which reason is but a part and by no means the greatest part.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

Corrupt influence is itself t...

Corrupt influence is itself the perennial spring of all prodigality, and of all disorder; it loads us more than millions of debt; takes away vigor from our arms, wisdom from our councils, and every shadow of authority and credit from the most venerable parts of our constitution.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

The blood of man should never...

The blood of man should never be shed but to redeem the blood of man. It is well shed for our family, for our friends, for our God, for our country, for our kind. The rest is vanity; the rest is crime.

Better to be despised for too anxious apprehensions than ruined by too confident a security.
