What Edmund Burke actually said

  1. Edmund Burke Irish-born British statesman and political philosopher (1729 to 1797)
    This policy appears to me to be the result of profound reflection,—or rather the happy effect of following Nature, which is wisdom without reflection, and above it. A spirit of innovation is generally the result of a selfish temper and confined views.
