“Men are qualified for civil liberty in exact proportion to their disposition to put moral chains upon their own appetites; in proportion as their love to justice is above their rapacity; in proportion as their soundness and sobriety of understanding is above their vanity and presumption; in proportion as they are more disposed to listen to the counsels of the wise and good, in preference to the flattery of knaves.”
—Edmund Burke (1729–1797)

This winding, gyring, spiring treadmill of a stair is my ancestrail stair;
That Goldsmith and the Dean, Berkeley and Burke have travelled there.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
