Edmund Burke: “So that, after all, it is a moral and virtuous discretion, and not any abstract theory of right, which keeps governments…”

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.

This is the result of all the delusions held out to engage a miserable people in rebellion, murder, and sacrilege, and to make them prompt and zealous instruments in the ruin of their country!

Of this consolation whoever deprives them deadens their industry, and strikes at the root of all acquisition as of all conservation.
