Power gradually extirpates from the mind every humane and gentle virtue. Pity, benevolence, friendship, are things almost unknown in high stations (Edmund Burke Quotes)
Public life is a situation of power and energy; he trespasses against his duty who sleeps upon his watch, as well as he that goes over to the enemy (Edmund Burke Quotes)
When we speak of the commerce with our colonies, fiction lags after truth, invention is unfruitful, and imagination cold and barren (Edmund Burke Quotes)
Freedom and not servitude is the cure of anarchy; as religion, and not atheism, is the true remedy for superstition (Edmund Burke Quotes)

Hypocrisy, of course, delights in the most sublime speculations; for, never intending to go beyond speculation, it costs nothing to have it magnificent (Edmund Burke Quotes)

You will not think it unnatural that those who have an object depending, which strongly engages their hopes and fears, should be somewhat inclining to superstition (Edmund Burke Quotes)
It is by bribing, not so often by being bribed, that wicked politicians bring ruin on mankind. Avarice is a rival to the pursuits of many (Edmund Burke Quotes)
Oppression makes wise men mad; but the distemper is still the madness of the wise, which is better than the sobriety of fools (Edmund Burke Quotes)
