In one of his great debates on American taxation, Edmund Burke
once paused to say, with regard to the consequence of the course
he was pursuing: “I know the map of England as well as the noble
lord or any other person, and I know the road I take is not the
road to preferment.” But he took it, nevertheless.
The end of the right road is never obscurity or ingratitude or obloquy.
It is the smile and welcome of God. Even here on the earth, the man who
does right comes to his own. Of the men of his age in England, Burke is
now among the most honored and will be among the longest remembered.
