“It only takes 20 years for a liberal to become a conservative without changing a single idea.”

“It seems to me that a man who can think straight along for forty-seven years without changing a single idea ought to be kept in a cabinet as a curiosity.”

“the world has changed: it did not change without your prayers without your faith without your determination to believe in liberation and kindness; without your dancing through the years that had no beat.”

“Sometimes I feel like the most liberal person among conservatives, and sometimes like the most conservative among liberals.”

“A state without the means of some change, is without the means of its own conservation.”

“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.”
