Conservatism clings to what has been established, fearing that, once we begin to question the beliefs that we have inherited, all the values of life will be destroyed Picture Quote #1

I am not a prophet in any sense of the word, and I entertain an active and intense dislike of the foregoing mixture of optimism, fatalism, and conservatism Picture Quote #1

I believe that this is the key, the principle itself is the key to conservatism. Because in many ways if you do not have a principled base you do not have policy and if you do not have policy in many ways you do not have an ideology Picture Quote #1

This socialism will develop in all its phases until it reaches its own extremes and absurdities. Then once again a cry of denial will break from the titanic chest of the revolutionary minority and again a mortal struggle will begin, in which socialism will play the role of contemporary conservatism and will be overwhelmed in the subsequent revolution, as yet unknown to us Picture Quote #1

Success breeds conservatism, and that means a love affair with the status quo and an aversion to change Picture Quote #1

I realized that conservatism was the philosophy that best suited me, with its emphasis on individual liberty, personal responsibility, and merit Picture Quote #1

Conservatism is the antidote to tyranny. It’s the only one. It’s based on thousands of years of human experience. There is nothing narrow about the conservative philosophy. It’s a liberating philosophy. It is a magnificent philosophy. It is a philosophy for the ages, for all times Picture Quote #1

Conservatism is not about tradition and morality, hasn’t been for many decades... It is about the putative biological and spiritual superiority of the wealthy Picture Quote #1

A conservative government survives essentially by dampening expectations and subduing hopes. Conservatism is basically pessimistic, reformism is basically optimistic Picture Quote #1

Conservatism is less a set of ideas than it is a pathological distemper, a militant anger over the fact that the universe is not closed and life is not static Picture Quote #1

Conservatism cherishes tradition; innovation fetishizes novelty. They tug in different directions, the one toward the past, the other toward the future Picture Quote #1

Writing is in fact an entirely outworn, decayed and corrupt convention whose chief and most conspicuous character is its monumental witness to the conservatism, laziness and irrationality of men and women Picture Quote #1

The principle of real leadership ignored, the immortal objects of society forgotten, practical conservatism degenerated into mere laudation of private enterprise, economic policy almost wholly surrendered to special interests Picture Quote #1

The great decisions of government cannot be dictated by the concerns of religious factions... We have succeeded for 205 years in keeping the affairs of state separate from the uncompromising idealism of religious groups and we mustn’t stop now. To retreat from that separation would violate the principles of conservatism and the values upon which the framers built this democratic republic Picture Quote #1

So, it’s important for us to acknowledge that we’re prone to be conservative, and in turn surround ourselves with individuals who will help break down our conservatism Picture Quote #1

Liberalism, contrary to popular belief, is facing backward in considering the injustice of its ancestors. Conservatism, contrary to popular belief, is facing forward in considering the psychology of its descendants. Definitively, it seems in the modern world that neither side really knows which direction it’s facing, and men of the sharpest judgment are simply turned off from picking either of the poisons Picture Quote #1

Conservatism is sometimes a symptom of sterility. Those who have nothing in them that can grow and develop must cling to what they have in beliefs, ideas and possessions. The sterile radical, too, is basically conservative. He is afraid to let go of the ideas and beliefs he picked up in his youth lest his life be seen as empty and wasted Picture Quote #1

All political and religious systems have their root and their strength in the innate conservatism of the human mind, and its intense fear of autonomy Picture Quote #1

I think, any politician, you have to hold them to their word. And conservatives run on fiscal conservatism Picture Quote #1

Sometimes, people forget my record of fiscal conservatism on major issues in the state legislature. The greatest example is my voting against the pension borrowing scheme in 1997 Picture Quote #1

I don’t really like labels in politics, but I will gladly accept the label of conservatism Picture Quote #1

All I do is convert liberals to conservatism. That’s what I do, and that’s why they don’t like me Picture Quote #1

Conservatism is not the problem. Conservatism is the founding of this country, essentially. Conservatism isn’t even really an ideology. Conservatism is just what is right, proper, decent, and moral. That’s all it is Picture Quote #1
