The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.
From Edmund Burke
The traveller has reached the end of the journey!
Magnanimity in politics is not seldom the truest wisdom; and a great empire and little minds go ill together.
One that confounds good and evil is an enemy to good.
All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent.
The greater the power, the more dangerous the abuse.
The first and simplest emotion which we discover in the human mind, is curiosity.
To read without reflecting is like eating without digesting.
It is a general popular error to suppose the loudest complainers for the public to be the most anxious for its welfare.
Mere parsimony is not economy. Expense, and great expense, may be an essential part in true economy.
