the laughter of the gods.
Edmund Burke

grand.
Edmund Burke

Early and provident fear is the mother of safety.
Edmund Burke

When the leaders choose to make themselves bidders at an auction of popularity, their
talents, in the construction of the state, will be of no service. They will become flatterers
instead of legislators; the instruments, not the guides, of the people.
Edmund Burke
