Edmund Burke: “Much evil has been done in India under the British authority.”

Whatever they are, I wish my countrymen rather to recommend to our neighbors the example of the British Constitution than to take models from them for the improvement of our own.

I would not exclude alteration neither; but even when I changed, it should be to preserve.

The improvements of the National Assembly are superficial, their errors fundamental.

They will become flatterers instead of legislators,--the instruments, not the guides of the people.
