"Society cannot exist, unless a controlling power upon will and appetite be placed somewhere; and the less of it there is within, the more there must be without. It is ordained in the eternal constitution of things, that men of intemperate minds cannot be free. Their passions forge their fetters." | Quote by: | Edmund Burke (1729-1797) Irish-born British statesman, parliamentary orator, and political thinker |
