Irish statesman and author Edmund Burke once wrote, "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." [NOTE: This quote is falsely attributed to Burke. The earliest match that could be found was a maxim from a 1916 speech by Reverend Charles F. Aked calling for restrictions on the use of alcohol: "It has been said that for evil men to accomplish their purpose it is only necessary that good men should do nothing." The maxim was similar but not identical to the modern quote. Therefore, the originator is unknown.] This job isn't just what I do. It's who I am.
