Edmund Burke
Never, no never, did Nature say one thing, and wisdom another.
Edmund Burke
Whilst shame keeps its watch, virtue is not wholly extinguished in the heart nor will moderation be utterly exiled from the minds of tyrants.
Edmund Burke

Edmund Burke

Edmund Burke
But a good patriot, and a true politician, always considers how he shall make the most of the existing materials of his country.

Edmund Burke
I venture to say no war can be long carried on against the will of the people.
Edmund Burke
They [Americans] augur misgovernment at a distance and snuff the approach of tyranny in every tainted breeze.
Edmund Burke
As mankind becomes more enlightened to know their real interests, they will esteem the value of agriculture they will find it in their natural--their destined occupation.
Edmund Burke
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
Liberty does not exist in the absence of morality.
Edmund Burke

Edmund Burke
