Edmund Burke Quotes

Your Literary Men, And Your Politicians, And So Do The Whole Clan Of The Enlightened Among Us, Essentially Differ In These Points. They Have No Respect For The Wisdom Of Others; But They Pay It Off By A Very Full Measure Of Confidence In Their Own. With Them It Is A Sufficient Motive To Destroy An Old Scheme Of Things, Because It Is An Old One. As To The New, They Are In No Sort Of Fear With Regard To The Duration Of A Building Run Up In Haste; Because Duration Is No Object To Those Who Think Little Or Nothing Has Been Done Before Their Time, And Who Place All Their Hopes In Discovery.
