The unbought grace of life, t...

The unbought grace of life, the cheap defence of nations, the nurse of manly sentiment and heroic enterprise isgone! it isgone, that sensibility of principle, that chastity of honour, which felt a stain like a wound, which ennobled whatever it touched, and under which vice itself lost half its evil, by losing all its grossness.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

The poorest being that crawls...

The poorest being that crawls on earth, contending to save itself from injustice and oppression, is an object respectable in the eyes of God and man.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

Falsehood and delusion are al...

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.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

The wise determine from the g...

The wise determine from the gravity of the case; the irritable, from sensibility to oppression; the high minded, from disdain and indignation at abusive power in unworthy hands.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

Fellowship in treason is a bad ground of confidence.

Genuine simplicity of heart is a healing and cementing principle.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

The liberty I mean is social ...

The liberty I mean is social freedom. It is that state of things in which liberty is secured by the equality of restraint. A constitution of things in which the liberty of no one man, and no body of men, and no number of men, can find means to trespass on the liberty of any person, or any description of persons, in the society. This kind of liberty is, indeed, but another name for justice.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

There ought to be system of manners in every nation which a well-formed mind would be disposed to relish. To make us love our country, our country ought to be lovely.

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

Prejudice renders a man's vir...

Prejudice renders a man's virtue his habit, and a series of unconnected arts. Though just prejudice, his duty becomes a part of his nature.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

Oppression makes wise men mad...

Oppression makes wise men mad; but the distemper is still the madness of the wise, which is better than the sobriety of fools.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

It is undoubtedly true, thoug...

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

Religion is for the man in hu...

Religion is for the man in humble life, and to raise his nature, and to put him in mind of a state in which the privileges of opulence will cease, when he will be equal by nature, and may be more than equal by virtue.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

Poetry, with all its obscurit...

Poetry, with all its obscurity, has a more general as well as a more powerful dominion over the passions than the art of painting.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

Instead of casting away all o...

Instead of casting away all our old prejudices, we cherish them to a very considerable degree, and, to take more shame to ourselves, we cherish them because they are prejudices; and the longer they have lasted and the more generally they have prevailed, the more we cherish them. We are afraid to put men to live and trade each on his own private stock of reason; because we suspect that this stock in each man is small, and that the individuals would do better to avail themselves of the general bank and capital of nations and of ages.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

Old religious factions are volcanoes burnt out.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

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

Nothing less will content me, than wholeAmerica.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

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

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

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.
