"Men, it has been well said, think in herds; it will be seen that they go mad in herds, while they only recover their senses slowly, and one by one."
'Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds' by Charles Mackay 1841
"In doing good, we are generally cold, and languid, and sluggish; and of all things afraid of being too much in the right. But the works of malice and injustice are quite in another style. They are finished with a bold, masterly hand; touched as they are with the spirit of those vehement passions that call forth all our energies, whenever we oppress and persecute." Edmund Burke 1780.
Ironically, Edmund Burke is considered the father of modern conservatism.
