Stiti cine a fost Edmurd Burke? Un filosof britanic. Printre altele popular pentru fraza asta (care nici macar nu se stie daca e chiar a lui):

§ All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.

Traim intr-o tara in care oamenii buni stau bine pititi. Public, nu vor nimic de la nimeni, par sa fie satisfacuti; inauntru lor, insa, se da o batalie perpetua cu ceilalti. As defini-o ca tara in care oamenii buni nu fac nimic. Cel putin nu in sensul frazei de mai sus.

Mi-au mai placut cateva vorbe de duh ale britanicului, asa ca vi le pun "pe tava".

§ The individual is foolish; the multitude, for the moment is foolish, when they act without deliberation; but the species is wise, and, when time is given to it, as a species it always acts right.

§ Nothing is so fatal to religion as indifference.
