Edmund Burke: “Something very high must fortify men to that proof.”

A state without the means of some change is without the means of its conservation.

Though a king may abdicate for his own person, he cannot abdicate for the monarchy.

The people of England will not ape the fashions they have never tried, nor go back to those which they have found mischievous on trial.

But an absurd theory on one side of a question forms no justification for alleging a false fact or promulgating mischievous maxims on the other.
