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.

Evil succeeds when good men do nothing

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

To give freedom is still more ...

To give freedom is still more easy. It is not necessary to guide; it only requires to let go the rein. But to form a free government; that is, to temper together these opposite elements of liberty and restraint in one work, requires much thought, deep reflection, a sagacious, powerful, and combining mind.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

All the forces of darkness need to succeed ... is for the people to do nothing.

Man is by his constitution a religious animal.

The Fate of good men who refuse to become involved in politics is to be ruled by evil men.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

My hold of the colonies is in ...

My hold of the colonies is in the close affection which grows from common names, from kindred blood, from similar privileges, and equal protection. These are ties which, though light as air, are as strong as links of iron.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

I set out with a perfect distrust of my own abilities, a total renunciation of every speculation of my own, and with a profound reverence for the wisdom of our ancestors, who have left us the inheritance of so happy a Constitution and so flourishing an empire, and, what is a thousand times more valuable, the treasury of the maxims and principles which formed the one and obtained the other.
