Edmund Burke: “Madam, it is dangerous to praise any human virtue before the accomplishment of the tasks which it imposes on itself.”

But what is liberty without wisdom and without virtue?

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

They cannot raise supplies; but they can raise mobs.

In some people I see great liberty, indeed; in many, if not in the most, an oppressive, degrading servitude.
