Edmund Burke
“Manners are of more importance than laws.”
“The greater the power, the more dangerous the abuse.”
“People will not look forward to posterity who never look backward to their ancestors.”
“Better to be despised for too anxious apprehensions than ruined by too confident a security.”
“Nobody made a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could do only a little.”
“Example is the school of mankind, and they will learn at no other.”
