Taste and elegance, though they are reckoned only among the smaller and secondary morals, yet are of no mean importance in the regulations of life. A moral taste is not of force to turn vice into virtue; but it recommends virtue with something like the blandishments of pleasure, and it infinitely abates the evils of vice.
Edmund BurkeThe writers against religion, whilst they oppose every system, are wisely careful never to set up any of their own.
Edmund Burke
