Text Quotes
That the greatest security of the people, against the encroachments and usurpations of their superiors, is to keep the Spirit of Liberty constantly awake, is an undeniable truth (Edmund Burke Quotes)
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 Quotes)
Virtue will catch as well as vice by contact; and the public stock of honest manly principle will daily accumulate. We are not too nicely to scrutinize motives as long as action is irreproachable. It is enough (and for a worthy man perhaps too much) to deal out its infamy to convicted guilt and declared apostasy (Edmund Burke Quotes)
The greatest crimes do not arise from a want of feeling for others but from an over-sensibilit y for ourselves and an over-indulgence to our own desires (Edmund Burke Quotes)
There are three estates in Parliament but in the Reporters’ Gallery yonder there sits a Fourth Estate more important far than they all. It is not a figure of speech or witty saying, it is a literal fact, very momentous to us in these times (Edmund Burke Quotes)
Facts are to the mind what food is to the body. On the due digestion of the former depend the strength and wisdom of the one, just as vigor and health depend on the other. The wisest in council, the ablest in debate, and the most agreeable companion in the commerce of human life, is that man who has assimilated to his understanding the greatest number of facts (Edmund Burke Quotes)
The science of constructing a commonwealth, or renovating it, or reforming it, is, like every other experimental science, not to be taught a priori. Nor is it a short experience that can instruct us in that practical science, because the real effects of moral causes are not always immediate (Edmund Burke Quotes)
Men have no right to put the well-being of the present generation wholly out of the question. Perhaps the only moral trust with any certainty in our hands is the care of our own time (Edmund Burke Quotes)
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 Quotes)
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. (Edmund Burke Quotes)
Men are qualified for civil liberty in exact proportion to their disposition to put moral chains upon their own appetites. (Edmund Burke Quotes)
Government is the exercise of all the great qualities of the human mind (Edmund Burke Quotes)
When you fear something, learn as much about it as you can. Knowledge conquers fear. (Edmund Burke Quotes)
It is an advantage to all narrow wisdom and narrow morals that their maxims have a plausible air; and, on a cursory view, appear equal to first principles. They are light and portable. They are as current as copper coin; and about as valuable. (Edmund Burke Quotes)
I venture to say no war can be long carried on against the will of the people (Edmund Burke Quotes)
We must all obey the great law of change. It is the most powerful law of nature (Edmund Burke Quotes)
Example is the school of mankind, and they will learn at no other (Edmund Burke Quotes)
Beauty is the promise of happiness (Edmund Burke Quotes)
To read without reflecting is like eating without digesting (Edmund Burke Quotes)
The people never give up their liberties but under some delusion (Edmund Burke Quotes)
Bad laws are the worst sort of tyranny (Edmund Burke Quotes)
Society can overlook murder, adultery or swindling; it never forgives preaching of a new gospel (Edmund Burke Quotes)
Beauty in distress is much the most affecting beauty (Edmund Burke Quotes)
Facts are to the mind what food is to the body (Edmund Burke Quotes)
If you can be well without health, you may be happy without virtue (Edmund Burke Quotes)
Poetry is the art of substantiating shadows, and of lending existence to nothing (Edmund Burke Quotes)
Politics and the pulpit are terms that have little agreement (Edmund Burke Quotes)
The greater the power, the more dangerous the abuse (Edmund Burke Quotes)
Those who don't know history are destined to repeat it (Edmund Burke Quotes)
What ever disunites man from God, also disunites man from man (Edmund Burke Quotes)
