To an intellectual who is adrift in politics, a theory is an aim; to a true politician his theory is a boundary

The way politics divides the world is into friend and enemy

Every non-political human grouping of whatever kind, legal, social, religious, economic or other becomes at last political if it creates an opposition deep enough to range men against one another as enemies

Liberalism is Rationalism in politics.

The 19th century was the age of Individualism the 20th and 21st are the ages of Socialism.

The purest expression of the doctrine of Liberalism was probably that of Benjamin Constant

A moment's reflection shows that Liberalism is entirely negative. It is not a formative force, but always and only a disintegrating force.
