I saw a movie/tv show quoting : all that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do noth

I can't remember the movie/tv show. it wasn't tears of the sun or cloverfield, as i haven't seen either of those.



What was the movie or tv show? what movies/tv shows have quoted this?



p.s. i know it is an edmund burke quote, so don't go on abou that.

I suspect it may have been Law and Order where you saw it.

Last Title card: The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing. - Edmund Burke



(I know you mentioned this one, but I'm just listing it anyway for any one who may be interested)



Burke's alleged quote bears a striking resemblance to the narrated theme of Sergei Bondarchuk's Soviet film version of Tolstoy's book ''War and Peace'', in which the narrator declares ''All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing'', although since the original is in Russian various translations to English are possible.



Voyna i mir (1967) ... aka War and Peace (USA) see http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0063794/



IMDb doesn't have it on the quotes page for either this version or the 1956 USA/Italy version of War and Peace (see - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0049934/) though.

In ''Driving Miss Daisy'' she hears Dr. Martin Luther King say that, too.
