Edmund Burke 03.03.2018 03:03:03 708 quotes

Whenever our neighbour's house is on fire, it cannot be amiss for the engines to play a little on our own.

Edmund Burke 03.03.2018 03:03:03 708 quotes

Whilst shame keeps its watch, virtue is not wholly extinguished in the heart; nor will moderation be utterly exiled from the minds of tyrants.

Edmund Burke 03.03.2018 03:03:03 708 quotes

Under the pressure of the care...

Under the pressure of the cares and sorrows of our mortal condition, men have at all times, and in all countries, called in some physical aid to their moral consolations - wine, beer, opium, brandy, or tobacco.

Edmund Burke 03.03.2018 03:03:03 708 quotes

Justice is itself the great standing policy of civil society; and any eminent departure from it, under any circumstances, lies under the suspicion of being no policy at all.

Edmund Burke 03.03.2018 03:03:03 708 quotes

There is but one law for all, ...

There is but one law for all, namely that law which governs all law, the law of our Creator, the law of humanity, justice, equity - the law of nature and of nations.

Edmund Burke 03.03.2018 03:03:03 708 quotes

In effect, to follow, not to f...

In effect, to follow, not to force the public inclination; to give a direction, a form, a technical dress, and a specific sanction, to the general sense of the community, is the true end of legislature.

Edmund Burke 03.03.2018 03:03:03 708 quotes

The person who grieves suffers...

The person who grieves suffers his passion to grow upon him; he indulges it, he loves it; but this never happens in the case of actual pain, which no man ever willingly endured for any considerable time.

Edmund Burke 03.03.2018 03:03:03 708 quotes

Circumstances give in reality ...

Circumstances give in reality to every political principle its distinguishing color and discriminating effect. The circumstances are what render every civil and political scheme beneficial or noxious to mankind.

Edmund Burke 03.03.2018 03:03:03 708 quotes

The effect of liberty to individuals is that they may do what they please: we ought to see what it will please them to do, before we risk congratulations.

Edmund Burke 03.03.2018 03:03:03 708 quotes

He had no failings which were ...

He had no failings which were not owing to a noble cause; to an ardent, generous, perhaps an immoderate passion for fame; a passion which is the instinct of all great souls.

Edmund Burke 03.03.2018 03:03:03 708 quotes

I have never yet seen any plan...

I have never yet seen any plan which has not been mended by the observations of those who were much inferior in understanding to the person who took the lead in the business.

Beauty is the promise of happiness.

Taxing is an easy business. Any projector can contrive new compositions, any bungler can add to the old.

Depend upon it that the lovers of freedom will be free.

Edmund Burke 03.03.2018 03:03:03 708 quotes

History consists, for the grea...

History consists, for the greater part, of the miseries brought upon the world by pride, ambition, avarice, revenge, lust, sedition, hypocrisy, ungoverned zeal, and all the train of disorderly appetite.

Edmund Burke 03.03.2018 03:03:03 708 quotes

In history, a great volume is ...

In history, a great volume is unrolled for our instruction, drawing the materials of future wisdom from the past errors and infirmities of mankind.

Edmund Burke 03.03.2018 03:03:03 708 quotes

Continue to instruct the world...

Continue to instruct the world; and - whilst we carry on a poor unequal conflict with the passions and prejudices of our day, perhaps with no better weapons than other passions and prejudices of our own - convey wisdom to future generations.
