Edmund Burke: “Fortunate indeed, if he lives to see nothing that shall vary the prospect, and cloud the setting of his day!”

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.

Do they mean to attaint and disable backwards all the kings that have reigned before the Revolution, and consequently to stain the throne of England with the blot of a continual usurpation?

Governments must be abused and deranged indeed, before it can be thought of; and the prospect of the future must be as bad as the experience of the past.

But the king of Great Britain obeys no other person; all other persons are individually, and collectively too, under him, and owe to him a legal obedience.
