My objection to Liberalism is this that it is the introduction into the practical business of life of the highest kind namely, politics of philosophical ideas instead of political principles.

Man is more powerful than matter.

I look upon parliamentary government as the noblest government in the world, and certainly one most suited to England. But without the discipline of political connection, animated by the principle of private honor, I feel certain that a popular assembly would sink before the power or the corruption of a minister.

I am a Conservative to preserve all that is good in our constitution, a Radical to remove all that is bad. I seek to preserve property and to respect order, and I equally decry the appeal to the passions of the many or the prejudices of the few.

Let the fear of a danger be a spur to prevent it; he that fears not, gives advantage to the danger.

Candor is the brightest gem of criticism.

Christianity teaches us to love our neighbor as ourself; modern society acknowledges no neighbor.
