Conservative

Famous quotes containing the word conservative:

“I never dared to be radical when young
For fear it would make me conservative when old.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)

“Almost always tradition is nothing but a record and a machine-made imitation of the habits that our ancestors created. The average conservative is a slave to the most incidental and trivial part of his forefathers’ glory—to the archaic formula which happened to express their genius or the eighteenth-century contrivance by which for a time it was served.”
—Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)
