Independent Conservative

Famous quotes containing the words independent and/or conservative:

    I’d like to come back as an independent woman who has more ambition than I have.
    Jenny Bird (b. c. 1937)

    Almost always tradition is nothing but a record and a machine-made imitation of the habits that our ancestors created. The average conservative is a slave to the most incidental and trivial part of his forefathers’ glory—to the archaic formula which happened to express their genius or the eighteenth-century contrivance by which for a time it was served.
    Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)
