Circumspection and caution are part of wisdom.

Many of the greatest tyrants on the records of history have begun their reigns in the fairest manner. But the truth is, this unnatural power corrupts both the heart and the understanding.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

The love of lucre, though some...

The love of lucre, though sometimes carried to a ridiculous excess, a vicious excess, is the grand cause of prosperity to all States.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

The starry heaven, though it o...

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

You had that action and counteraction which, in the natural and in the political world, from the reciprocal struggle of discordant powers draws out the harmony of the universe.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

Where two motives, neither of them perfectly justifiable, may be assigned, the worst has the chance of being preferred.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

This sort of people are so taken up with their theories about the rights of man that they have totally forgotten his nature.

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

I would rather sleep in the southern corner of a little country churchyard than in the tomb of the Capulets.

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

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

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

I set out with a perfect distr...

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.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

Fiction lags after truth, invention is unfruitful, and imagination cold and barren.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

All that is necessary for evil...

All that is necessary for evil to succeed is for good men to do nothing as they must if they believe they can do nothing. There is nothing worse because the council of despair is declaration of irresponsibility; it is Pilate washing his hands.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

There are some men formed with feelings so blunt that they can hardly be said to be awake during the whole course of their lives.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

For there is in mankind an unfortunate propensity to make themselves, their views and their works, the measure of excellence in every thing whatsoever

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