Famous quotes containing the words conservative and/or thinker:
“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)
“This thinker needs no one to refute him: he manages to do that himself.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
