Socially Conservative

Famous quotes containing the words socially and/or conservative:

“There are some circles in America where it seems to be more socially acceptable to carry a hand-gun than a packet of cigarettes.”

“Almost always tradition is nothing but a record and a machine-made imitation of the habits that our ancestors created.
