By looking into physical cause...

By looking into physical causes our minds are opened and enlarged; and in this pursuit, whether we take or whether we lose the game, the chase is certainly of service.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

He that borrows the aid of an ...

He that borrows the aid of an equal understanding doubles his own; he that uses that of a superior elevates his own to the stature of that he contemplates.

Over-taxation cost England her colonies of North America.

The only training for the hero...

The only training for the heroic is the mundane.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

When you find me attempting to break into your house to take your plate, under any pretence whatsoever, but most of all under pretence of purity of religion and Christian charity shoot me for a robber and a hypocrite, as in that case I shall certainly be.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

It is better to cherish virtue...

It is better to cherish virtue and humanity, by leaving much to free will, even with some loss of the object , than to attempt to make men mere machines and instruments of political benevolence. The world on the whole will gain by a liberty, without which virtue cannot exist.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

Nothing tends so much to the c...

Nothing tends so much to the corruption of science as to suffer it to stagnate; these waters must be troubled before they can exert their virtues.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

When ancient opinions and rule...

When ancient opinions and rules of life are taken away, the loss cannot possibly be estimated. From that moment, we have no compass to govern us, nor can we know distinctly to what port to steer.

The yielding of the weak is the concession to fear.

The concessions of the weak are the concessions of fear.

The power of perpetuating our property in our families is one of the most valuable and interesting circumstances belonging to it, and that which tends the most to the perpetuation of society itself.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

Whatever each man can separate...

Whatever each man can separately do, without trespassing upon others, he has a right to do for himself; and he has a right to a fair portion of all which society, with all it combinations of skill and force, can do in his favor. In this partnership all men have equal rights; but not to equal things.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

Toleration is good for all, or it is good for none.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

We must soften into a credulit...

We must soften into a credulity below the milkiness of infancy to think all men virtuous. We must be tainted with a malignity truly diabolical, to believe all the world to be equally wicked and corrupt.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

Men who undertake considerable...

Men who undertake considerable things, even in a regular way, ought to give us ground to presume ability.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

Some decent regulated pre-emin...

Some decent regulated pre-eminence, some preference (not exclusive appropriation) given to birth, is neither unnatural, nor unjust, nor impolite.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

The power of perpetuating our ...

The power of perpetuating our property in our families is one of the most valuable and interesting circumstances belonging to it, and that which tends most to the perpetuation of society itself. It makes our weakness subservient to our virtue; it grafts benevolence even upon avarice. The possession of family wealth and of the distinction which attends hereditary possessions (as most concerned in it,) are the natural securities for this transmission.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

Writers, especially when they act in a body and with one direction, have great influence on the public mind.

The credulity of dupes is as inexhaustible as the invention of knaves.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

Of all things, wisdom is the most terrified with epidemical fanaticism, because, of all enemies, it is that against which she is the least able to furnish any kind of resource.
