Tradition means giving votes to the most obscure of all classes, our ancestors. It is the democracy of the dead.
We are all in the same boat in a stormy sea, and we owe each other a terrible loyalty.
There are two ways to get enough. One is to continue to accumulate more and more. The other is to desire less.
G.K. Chesterton·1905None of the strong men in the strong ages would have understood what you meant by working for efficiency.
Leonardo da Vinci·1500Iron rusts from disuse; stagnant water loses its purity and in cold weather becomes frozen; even so does inaction sap the vigor of the mind.
Theodore Roosevelt·1910If we lose the virile, manly qualities, and sink into a nation of mere hucksters, putting gain over national honor, and subordinating everything to mere ease of life, then we shall indeed reach a condition worse than that of the ancient civilizations in the years of their decay.
