Edmund Burke

“It is the nature of all greatness not to be exact; and great trade will always be attended with considerable abuses. The contraband will always keep pace in some measure with the fair trade. It should stand as a fundamental maxim, that no vulgar precaution ought to be employed in the cure of evils, which are closely connected with the cause of our prosperity.”

Edmund Burke, THOUGHTS ON THE CAUSE OF THE PRESENT DISCONTENTS VOL 1 CL
