More from Edmund Burke
They will become flatterers instead of legislators,--the instruments, not the guides of the people.
They come from one who has been no tool of power, no flatterer of greatness, and who in his last acts does not wish to belie the tenor of his life.
It is the greatest of all possible evils; for it is folly, vice, and madness, without tuition or restraint.
It was not made to entice the smell of a mole, nuzzling and burying himself in his mother earth, as yours is.
