The Very Heart And Soul Of Conservatism

We Have Not Inherited An Easy World. If Developments Like The Industrial Revolution, Which Began In England, And The Gifts Of Science And Technology Have Made Life Much Easier For Us, They Have Also Made It More Dangerous. There Are Threats Now To Our Freedom, Indeed To Our Very Existence, That Other Generations Could Never Even Have Imagined. There Is First The Threat Of Global War. No President, No Congress, No Prime Minister, No Parliament Can Spend A Day Entirely Free Of This Threat. If History Teaches Anything, It Teaches Self-delusion In The Face Of Unpleasant Facts Is Folly.

I Know That It Is Often Difficult To Stand Up For One's Beliefs When They Are Being Harshly Challenged. But As One Who Has Seen Many Challenges Over A Long Lifetime, I Can Assure You That Personal Faith And Conviction Are Strengthened, Not Weakened, In Adversity.

America Is The Moral Force That Defeated Communism And All Those Who Would Put The Human Soul Itself Into Bondage.

The More The Plans Fail, The More The Planners Plan.

Regimes Planted By Bayonets Do Not Take Root.
