“The whole modern world has divided itself into Conservatives and Progressives. The business of Progressives is to go on making mistakes. The business of Conservatives is to prevent mistakes from being corrected. Even when the revolutionist might himself repent of his revolution, the traditionalist is already defending it as part of his tradition. Thus we have two great types -- the advanced person who rushes us into ruin, and the retrospective person who admires the ruins. He admires them especially by moonlight, not to say moonshine. Each new blunder of the progressive or prig becomes instantly a legend of immemorial antiquity for the snob. This is called the balance, or mutual check, in our Constitution.”
― G.K. Chesterton

“I won't insult your intelligence by suggesting that you really believe what you just said.”
― William F. Buckley Jr.

“There are those who hate Christianity and call their hatred an all-embracing love for all religions.”
― G.K. Chesterton

“Once abolish the God and the government becomes the God.”
