“Loyalty to petrified opinions never yet broke a chain or freed a human soul.”

Mark Twain

Quote · 1936

“The true conservative seeks to protect the system of private property and free enterprise by correcting such injustices and inequalities as arise from it. The most serious threat to our institutions comes from those who refuse to face the need for change. Liberalism becomes the protection for the far-sighted conservative.”

Franklin D. Roosevelt

Quote · 1987

“They are casting their problems on society and who is society? There is no such thing! There are individual men and women and there are families and no government can do anything except through people and people look to themselves first.”

Margaret Thatcher
