Power, in whatever hands, is r...

Power, in whatever hands, is rarely guilty of too strict limitations on itself.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

If the prudence of reserve and...

If the prudence of reserve and decorum dictates silence in some circumstances, in others prudence of a higher order may justify us in speaking our thoughts.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

Prudence is a quality incompat...

Prudence is a quality incompatible with vice, and can never be effectively enlisted in its cause.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

An entire life of solitude con...

An entire life of solitude contradicts the purpose of our being, since death itself is scarcely an idea of more terror.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

Unsociable humors are contract...

Unsociable humors are contracted in solitude, which will, in the end, not fail of corrupting the understanding as well as the manners, and of utterly disqualifying a man for the satisfactions and duties of life. Men must be taken as they are, and we neither make them or ourselves better by flying from or quarreling with them.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

Magnificence is likewise a sou...

Magnificence is likewise a source of the sublime. A great profusion of things which are splendid or valuable in themselves is magnificent. The starry heaven, though it occurs so very frequently to our view, never fails to excite an idea of grandeur.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

Whenever government abandons l...

Whenever government abandons law, it proclaims anarchy.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

The truly sublime is always ea...

The truly sublime is always easy, and always natural.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

Nothing so effectually deadens...

Nothing so effectually deadens the taste of the sublime as that which is light and radiant.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

One source of the sublime is i...

One source of the sublime is infinity.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

The marketplace obliges men, whether they will or not, in pursuing their own selfish interests, to connect the general good with their own individual success.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

You will not think it unnatura...

You will not think it unnatural that those who have an object depending, which strongly engages their hopes and fears, should be somewhat inclining to superstition.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

It is by sympathy we enter int...

It is by sympathy we enter into the concerns of others, that we are moved as they are moved, and are never suffered to be indifferent spectators of almost anything which men can do or suffer. For sympathy may be considered as a sort of substitution, by which we are put into the place of another man, and affected in many respects as he is affected.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

It is for the most part in our...

It is for the most part in our skill in manners, and in the observations of time and place and of decency in general, that what is called taste by way of distinction consists; and which is in reality no other than a more refined judgment.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

It is known that the taste--wh...

It is known that the taste--whatever it is--is improved exactly as we improve our judgment, by extending our knowledge, by a steady attention to our object, and by frequent exercise.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

The cause of a wrong taste is ...

The cause of a wrong taste is a defect of judgment.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

For my part, I am convinced th...

For my part, I am convinced that the method of teaching which approaches most nearly to the method of investigation is incomparably the best; since, not content with serving up a few barren and lifeless truths, it leads to the stock on which they grew.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

Men want to be reminded, who d...

Men want to be reminded, who do not want to be taught; because those original ideas of rectitude to which the mind is compelled to assent when they are proposed, are not always as present to us as they ought to be.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

Fellowship in treason is a bad...

Fellowship in treason is a bad ground of confidence.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

Falsehood and delusion are all...

Falsehood and delusion are allowed in no case whatever; but, as in the exercise of all the virtues, there is an economy of truth. It is a sort of temperance, by which a man speaks truth with measure, that he may speak it the longer.
