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

Edmund Burke is thought to have said this but he definitely said the following:

"There is, however, a limit at which forbearance ceases to be a virtue."

Parenthetically, he also said this:

"People crushed by law, have no hopes but from power. If laws are their enemies, they will be enemies to laws; and those who have much to hope and nothing to lose, will always be dangerous."
