Not men but measures a sort of charm by which many people get loose from every honorable engagement.

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

Freedom and not servitude is t...

Freedom and not servitude is the cure of anarchy; as religion, and not atheism, is the true remedy of superstition.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

When a great man has some one ...

When a great man has some one object in view to be achieved in a given time, it may be absolutely necessary for him to walk out of all the common roads.

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.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

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

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

It is the function of a judge ...

It is the function of a judge not to make but to declare the law, according to the golden mete-wand of the law and not by the crooked cord of discretion.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

To execute laws is a royal off...

To execute laws is a royal office; to execute orders is not to be a king. However, a political executive magistracy, though merely such, is a great trust.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

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

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

To be attached to the subdivis...

To be attached to the subdivision, to love the little platoon we belong to in society, is the first principle (the germ as it were) of public affections. It is the first link in the series by which we proceed toward a love to our country and to mankind. The interest of that portion of social arrangement is a trust in the hands of all those who compose it; and as none but bad men would justify it in abuse, none but traitors would barter it away for their own personal advantage.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

The people of England well know that the idea of inheritance furnishes a sure principle of conservation and a sure principle of transmission, without at all excluding a principle of improvement.

The method of teaching which approaches most nearly to the method of investigation is incomparably the best.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

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

Government is the exercise of all the great qualities of the human mind.

The question is not whether you have a right to render people miserable, but whether it is not in your best interest to make them happy.

Where mystery begins religion ends.

Tell me what are the prevailing sentiments that occupy the minds of your young peoples, and I will tell you what is to be the character of the next generation.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

He only deserves to be remembered by posterity who treasures up and preserves the history of his ancestors.

When any work seems to have required immense force and labor to effect it, the idea is grand.
