Liberalism Quotes

For the average American, the message is clear. Liberalism is no longer the answer. It is the problem Picture Quote #1

My objection to Liberalism is this that it is the introduction into the practical business of life of the highest kind namely, politics of philosophical ideas instead of political principles Picture Quote #1

Liberalism is, I think, resurgent. One reason is that more and more people are so painfully aware of the alternative Picture Quote #1

Liberalism is a religion. Its tenets cannot be proved, it's capacity for waste and destruction demonstrated. But it affords a feeling of spiritual rectitude at little or no cost Picture Quote #1

Let’s trace the birth of an idea. It’s born as rampant radicalism, then it becomes progressivism, then liberalism, then it becomes moderated conservative, outmoded, and gone Picture Quote #1

Liberalism, austere in political trifles, has learned ever more artfully to unite a constant protest against the government with a constant submission to it Picture Quote #1

It’s interesting that when economic times were the hardest, that’s when many people embraced liberalism Picture Quote #1

The essence of liberalism is negotiation, a cautious half measure, in the hope that the definitive dispute, the decisive bloody battle, can be transformed into a parliamentary debate and permit the decision to be suspended forever in an everlasting discussion Picture Quote #1

So much of liberalism in its classical sense is taken for granted in the west today and even disrespected. We take freedom for granted, and because of this we don’t understand how incredibly vulnerable it is Picture Quote #1

The current disfavor into which socialism has fallen has spurred... the frenzy to proclaim oneself a liberal. Many writers today have recourse to the strategem of inventing for oneself a liberalism according to one’s own tastes and passing it off as an evolution from past ideas Picture Quote #1

Modern liberalism, for most liberals is not a consciously understood set of rational beliefs, but a bundle of unexamined prejudices and conjoined sentiments. The basic ideas and beliefs seem more satisfactory when they are not made fully explicit, when they merely lurk rather obscurely in the background, coloring the rhetoric and adding a certain emotive glow Picture Quote #1

Religion is an affront to liberalism because it dares suggest it’s not all about you Picture Quote #1

The idea of liberalism has to be recreated. In the course of time it has lost so much of its clarity and attraction that it first has to rise like a new dawn in front of the people Picture Quote #1

Liberalism demands that people without guns be able to tell people with guns what to do Picture Quote #1

For at least the past 65 years, liberalism has been nothing if not an attempt to strike a balance between the needs of the community and the needs of individuals, between the need for freedom and the need for order Picture Quote #1

The freedom of man is, in political liberalism, freedom from persons, from personal dominion, from the master; the securing of each individual person against other persons, personal freedom Picture Quote #1

America faces a fundamental choice: either the blessings of liberty or the servitude of liberalism. In the political struggle for survival, one or the other is headed for extinction Picture Quote #1

Even if you have a brain predisposed to liberalism, you might end up with some conservative friends or find inspiring conservative role models who could be very influential on you, and that could send you down a different track in life Picture Quote #1

The pillars of classical liberalism call for flat taxes, with revenues put to limited uses; strong property rights; and free markets 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

Fascism is definitely and absolutely opposed to the doctrines of liberalism, both in the political and economic sphere Picture Quote #1

If liberalism has grown so weak and ineffective, why does it evoke such alarm on the part of conservatives? It turns out that while liberals are weak and spineless, they are also sneaky and clever Picture Quote #1

Liberalism is a force truly of the spirit proceeding from the deep realization that economic freedom cannot be sacrificed if political freedom is to be preserved Picture Quote #1

Universal education is the most corroding and disintegrating poison that liberalism has ever invented for its own destruction Picture Quote #1

Liberalism provided me with an intellectual satisfaction that I never found in fundamentalism. I became so enamored of the insights of liberalism that I almost fell into the trap of accepting uncritically everything it encompassed Picture Quote #1
