I googled it for you. The quote is:
?The only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.? and it was said by British statesman Edmund Burke.

LOL.

FWIW, I just copied and pasted your quote and found it about 4 or 5 sites down from the top.

Has it helped you at all or were you just curious who said it?
