>>You probably won't be surprised that a framed copy of that quote hung in my parents' house.
Attributable to Burke and said to be the most popular quotation in the English language:
"The Only Thing Necessary for the Triumph of Evil is that Good Men Do Nothing."
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
