Power gradually extirpates for the mind every humane and gentle virtue.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

Society is indeed a contract. ...

Society is indeed a contract. It is a partnership in all science; a partnership in all art; a partnership in every virtue, and in all perfection. As the ends of such a partnership cannot be obtained in many generations, it becomes a partnership not only between those who are living, but between those who are living, those who are dead, and those who are to be born.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

History is a pact between the dead, the living, and the yet unborn.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

In the weakness of one kind of authority, and in the fluctuation of all, the officers of an army will remain for some time mutinous and full of faction, until some popular general, who understands the art of conciliating the soldiery, and who possesses the true spirit of command, shall draw the eyes of all men upon himself. Armies will obey him on his personal account. There is no other way of securing military obedience in this state of things.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

All men that are ruined, are ruined on the side of their natural propensities.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

Manners are of more importance...

Manners are of more importance than laws. Manners are what vex or soothe, corrupt or purify, exalt or debase, barbarize or refine us, by a constant, steady, uniform, insensible operation, like that of the air we breathe.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

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

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

Woman is not made to be the admiration of all, but the happiness of one.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

The great difference between the real leader and the pretender is that the one sees into the future, while the other regards only the present; the one lives by the day, and acts upon expediency; the other acts on enduring principles and for the immortality.

Facts are to the mind what food is to the body.

Make the Revolution a parent of settlement, and not a nursery of future revolutions.

We must not always judge of the generality of the opinion by the noise of the acclamation.

Liberty, without wisdom, is license.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

The only liberty that is valua...

The only liberty that is valuable is a liberty connected with order; that not only exists along with order and virtue, but which cannot exist at all without them. It inheres in good and steady government, as in its substance and vital principle.

My vigour relents. I pardon something to the spirit of liberty.
