Edmund Burke: “But the principles of freedom were predominant, though the thing itself was not yet fully formed.”

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

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

It was not made to entice the smell of a mole, nuzzling and burying himself in his mother earth, as yours is.

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