Edmund Burke: “For whatever I have been (I am now no more) I put myself on my country.”

Every honest mind, every true lover of liberty and humanity, must rejoice to find that injustice is not always good policy, nor rapine the high-road to riches.

The body of the people must not find the principles of natural subordination by art rooted out of their minds.

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

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