Default Edmund Burke said

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

and he said a few other things that are relevant and timely:

"Better be despised for too anxious apprehensions, than ruined by too confident security."


"No one could make a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could do only a little."

and finally -

"Hypocrisy can afford to be magnificent in its promises; for never intending to go beyond promises; it costs nothing."
