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.

Wonderful words. Thanks for posting.

You're welcome. Edmund Burke had a flair for stating principles that are easier to understand because he articulated them.

This is another pearl of Wisdom he articulated.

"The use of force alone is but temporary. It may subdue for a moment; but it does not remove the necessity of subduing again: and a nation is not governed, which is perpetually to be conquered."

I often interpret this to mean that society must have a moral underpinning wherein people are obligated to control themselves.
