Nothing less will content me,...

Nothing less will content me, than wholeAmerica.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

That great chain of causes, w...

That great chain of causes, which, linking one to another, even to the throne of God Himself, can never be unraveled by any industry of ours.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

Where two motives, neither of...

Where two motives, neither of them perfectly justifiable, may be assigned, the worst has the chance of being preferred.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

My hold of the colonies is in...

My hold of the colonies is in the close affection which grows from common names, from kindred blood, from similar privileges, and equal protection. These are ties which, though light as air, are as strong as links of iron.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

The love of lucre, though som...

The love of lucre, though sometimes carried to a ridiculous excess, a vicious excess, is the grand cause of prosperity to all States.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

Though ugliness be the opposi...

Though ugliness be the opposite of beauty, it is not the opposite to proportion and fitness; for it is possible that a thing may be very ugly with any proportions, and with a perfect fitness for any use.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

Politics and the pulpit are t...

Politics and the pulpit are terms that have little agreement. No sound ought to be heard in the church but the healing voice of Christian charity. The cause of civil liberty and civil government gains as little as that of religion by this confusion of duties. Those who quit their proper character to assume what does not belong to them are, for the greater part, ignorant both of the character they leave and of the character they assume.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

Knowledge of those unalterabl...

Knowledge of those unalterable Relations which Providence has ordained that every thing should bear to every other...To these we should conform in good Earnest; and not think to force Nature, and the whole Order of her System, by a Compliance with our Pride, and Folly, to conform to our artificial Regulations.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

The men of England,- the men,...

The men of England,- the men, I mean, of light and leading in England.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

Some decent regulated pre-emi...

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

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

True humility-the basis of th...

True humility-the basis of the Christian system-is the low but deep and firm foundation of all virtues.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

I dread our own power, and ou...

I dread our own power, and our own ambition; I dread our being too much dreaded... We may say that we shall not abuse this astonishing, and hitherto unheard-of-power. But every other nation will think we shall abuse it. It is impossible but that, sooner or later, this state of things must produce a combination against us which may end in our ruin.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

Contempt is not a thing to be...

Contempt is not a thing to be despised. It may be borne with a calm and equal mind, but no man, by lifting his head high, can pretend that he does not perceive the scorns that are poured down on him from above.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

In the weakness of one kind o...

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

The religion most prevalent i...

The religion most prevalent in our northern colonies is a refinement on the principles of resistance: it is the dissidence of dissent, and the protestantism of the Protestant religion.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

I would rather sleep in the southern corner of a little country churchyard than in the tomb of the Capulets.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

The concessions of the weak are the concessions of fear.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

All those instances to be fou...

All those instances to be found in history, whether real or fabulous, of a doubtful public spirit, at which morality is perplexed, reason is staggered, and from which affrighted Nature recoils, are their chosen and almost sole examples for the instruction of their youth.

Edmund Burke 708 quotes

Liberty, without wisdom, is l...

Liberty, without wisdom, is license.
