"We sleep safely in our beds because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would harm us."
-- Edmund Burke, 1729 - 1797 By the "Father of Conservatism" Edmund Burke - though George Orwell once made reference to this quote in an essay on Rudyard Kipling, so the quote often gets misattributed to him.
