Drawn from what Edmund Burke said
What Edmund Burke actually said
- Edmund Burke Irish-born British statesman and political philosopher (1729 to 1797)
We are afraid to put men to live and trade each on his own private stock of reason; because we suspect that the stock in each man is small, and that the individuals would do better to avail themselves of the general bank and capital of nations and of ages.
