The more accurately we search ...

The more accurately we search into the human mind, the stronger traces we everywhere find of the wisdom of Him who made it.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

Taxing is an easy business. Any projector can contrive new impositions; any bungler can add to the old; but is it altogether wise to have no other bounds to your impositions than the patience of those who are to bear them?

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

And having looked to Governmen...

And having looked to Government for bread, on the very first scarcity they will turn and bite the hand that fed them.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

People crushed by law, have no...

People crushed by law, have no hopes but from power. If laws are their enemies, they will be enemies to laws; and those who have much hope and nothing to lose, will always be dangerous.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

General rebellions and revolts...

We set ourselves to bite the hand that feeds us.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

Guilt was never a rational thi...

Guilt was never a rational thing; it distorts all the faculties of the human mind, it perverts them, it leaves a man no longer in the free use of his reason, it puts him into confusion.

Genuine simplicity of heart is a healing and cementing principle.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

There is a time when the hoary head of inveterate abuse will neither draw reverence nor obtain protection.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

There is a wide difference bet...

There is a wide difference between admiration and love. The sublime, which is the cause of the former, always dwells on great objects and terrible; the latter on small ones and pleasing; we submit to what we admire, but we love what submits to us: in one case we are forced, in the other, we are flattered, into compliance.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

He who calls in the aid of an ...

He who calls in the aid of an equal understanding doubles his own; and he who profits by a superior understanding raises his powers to a level with the height of the superior standing he unites with.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

The pride of men will not often suffer reason to have scope until it can be no longer of service.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

Turbulent, discontented men of...

Turbulent, discontented men of quality, in proportion as they are puffed up with personal pride and arrogance, generally despise their own order.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

The only kind of sublimity whi...

The only kind of sublimity which a painter or sculptor should aim at is to express by certain proportions and positions of limbs and features that strength and dignity of mind, and vigor and activity of body, which enables men to conceive and execute great actions.

Sallust is indisputably one of the best historians among the Romans, both for the purity of his language and the elegance of his style.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

It is by bribing, not so often by being bribed, that wicked politicians bring ruin on mankind. Avarice is a rival to the pursuits of many.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

Teach me, O lark! with thee to greatly rise, to exalt my soul and lift it to the skies.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

It is undoubtedly true, though it may seem paradoxical,--but, in general, those who are habitually employed in finding and displaying faults are unqualified for the work of reformation.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

The introduction of Christianity, which, under whatever form, always confers such inestimable benefits on mankind, soon made a sensible change in these rude and fierce manners.
