Russell Kirk
“Man's rights are linked with man's duties, and when they are distorted into extravagant claims for a species of freedom and equality and worldly aggrandizement which human character cannot sustain, they degenerate from rights to vices.”
Russell Kirk, The Conservative Mind: From Burke to Eliot

Russell Kirk
“Burke, could he see our century, never would concede that a consumption-society is the end for which Providence has prepared man.”
Russell Kirk, The Conservative Mind: From Burke to Eliot

Augustine of Hippo
“It was pride that changed angels into devils; it is humility that makes men as angels.”
Augustine of Hippo

Friedrich Nietzsche
“Those who know that they are profound strive for clarity. Those who would like to seem profound to the crowd strive for obscurity.”
Friedrich Nietzsche

Russell Kirk
“Under Protestantism, religion is left entirely to the control of the individual, who selects his own creed, or makes a creed to suit himself, devises his own worship and discipline and submits to no restraints but such as are self-imposed. When this stage is reached, disintegration of the religious spirit is imminent; for man is not sufficient unto himself, reason unaided cannot sustain faith, and Authority is required to preserve Christianity from degenerating into a congeries of fanatic sects and egotistical professions. Under Protestantism, the sect governs religion, rather than submitting to governance; the congregation bully their ministers and insist upon palatable sermons, flattering to their vanity; Protestantism cannot sustain popular Liberty because it is itself subject to popular control, and must follow in all things the popular will, passion, interest, prejudice, or caprice.”
Russell Kirk, The Conservative Mind: From Burke to Eliot
