His enthusiasm kindles as he advances; and when he arrives at his peroration it is in full blaze (Edmund Burke Quotes)
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 Quotes)
The esteem of wise and good men is the greatest of all temporal encouragements to virtue; and it is a mark of an abandoned spirit to have no regard to it (Edmund Burke 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 Quotes)
This minority is great and formidable. I do not know whether, if I aimed at the total overthrow of a kingdom, I should wish to be encumbered with a large body of partisans (Edmund Burke Quotes)

God has sometimes converted wickedness into madness; and it is to the credit of human reason that men who are not in some degree mad are never capable of being in the highest degree wicked (Edmund Burke Quotes)
I do ride contend against the advantages of distrust. In the world we live in, it is but too necessary. Some of old called it the very sinews of discretion (Edmund Burke Quotes)
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 Quotes)
Nothing, indeed, but the possession of some power can with any certainty discover what at the bottom is the true character of any man (Edmund Burke Quotes)
I cannot help concurring with the opinion that an absolute democracy, no more than absolute monarchy, is to be reckoned among the legitimate forms of government (Edmund Burke Quotes)

An entire life of solitude contradicts the purpose of our being, since death itself is scarcely an idea of more terror (Edmund Burke Quotes)
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 Quotes)

Surely the church is a place where one day’s truce ought to be allowed to the dissensions and animosities of mankind (Edmund Burke Quotes)
I own that there is a haughtiness and fierceness in human nature which will cause innumerable broils, place men in what situation you please (Edmund Burke Quotes)
