“The great Error of our Nature is, not to know where
to stop, not to be satisfied with any reasonable Acquirement; not to compound
with our Condition; but to lose all we have gained by an insatiable Pursuit
after more.”—Anglo-Irish statesman (and father of conservatism) Edmund Burke
(1729-1797),
A Vindication of Natural Society (1756)
