A radical is a man with both feet firmly planted-in the air. A conservative is a man… — Franklin D. Roosevelt

A radical is a man with both feet firmly planted-in the air. A conservative is a man with two perfectly good legs who, however, has never learned to walk forward. A reactionary is a somnambulist walking backwards. A liberal is a man who uses his legs and his hands at the behest...of his head.
