All conservatism is based upon the idea that if you leave things alone you leave them as they are. But you do not. If you leave a thing alone you leave it to a torrent of change.
G.K. Chesterton – Conservatism
When a nation’s young men are conservative, its funeral bell is already rung.
Henry Ward Beecher – Conservatism
What is conservatism? Is it not adherence to the old and tried, but against the new and untried?
