Edmund Burke Quotes About Navy

• In the weakness of one kind of authority, and in the fluctuation of all, the officers of an army will remain for some time mutinous and full of faction, until some popular general, who understands the art of conciliating the soldiery, and who possesses the true spirit of command, shall draw the eyes of all men upon himself. Armies will obey him on his personal account. There is no other way of securing military obedience in this state of things.

• En un verano han hecho su negocio... han derribado por completo su monarquía, su iglesia, su nobleza, su ley, sus ingresos, su ejército, su marina, su comercio, sus artes y sus manufacturas... han destruido todos los equilibrios y contrapesos que sirven para fijar un estado y darle una dirección firme, y luego han fundido el todo en una masa incongresible de turba y democracia... el pueblo, junto con su servidumbre política, ha arrojado el yugo de la ley y la moral.

• It is the love of the people; it is their attachment to their government, from the sense of the deep stake they have in such a glorious institution, which gives you your army 168 and your navy, and infuses into both that liberal obedience, without which your army would be a base rabble, and your navy nothing but rotten timber.
