“No foreign policy can be justified except a policy devoted without reservation or diversion to the protection of liberty of the American people, with war only as the last resort and only to preserve that liberty.”
Robert A. Taft, A Foreign Policy for Americans

“True freedom depends on local self-government, effective access of the people to their individual rights. Sometimes I question whether the United States has not reached the limit of size under which the people of a nation can have a real voice in its government.”
Robert A. Taft, A Foreign Policy for Americans

“The truth is that no nation can be constantly prepared to undertake a full-scale war at any moment and still hope to maintain any of the other purposes in which people are interested and for which nations are founded.”
Robert A. Taft, A Foreign Policy for Americans

Ryszard Legutko
“All political projects that neglect human nature and disregard the lessons drawn from centuries of political experience have to compensate for their lack of realism by a disproportionately high degree of intervention in both the social fabric and in human minds.”
Ryszard Legutko, The Cunning of Freedom: Saving the Self in an Age of False Idols

“Individualism leads not to freedom, but to the absence of maturity or character; it leads us to retreat into an intensely private world, a tiny space in which we may exercise our singular, feckless will.”
Ted V. McAllister, Coming Home: Reclaiming America's Conservative Soul
