Christopher Henry Dawson
“Every society rests in the last resort on the recognition of common principles and common ideals, and if it makes no moral or spiritual appeal to the loyalty of its members, it must inevitably fall to pieces.”
Christopher Dawson

“Patriotism at its best, inspired by a history of shared sacrifice in a shared country, was not racist or exclusionary; it was democratic, civic-minded, and inclusive, devoid of the hatred that so often arises out of communities based on race or ethnicity.”
William Leach

Wendell Berry
“The principles of neighborhood and subsistence will be disparaged by the globalists as 'protectionism' — and that is exactly what it is. It is a protectionism that is just and sound, because it protects local producers and is the best assurance of adequate supplies to local consumers. And the idea that local needs should be met first and only surpluses exported does not imply any prejudice against charity toward people in other places or trade with them. The principle of neighborhood at home always implies the principle of charity abroad. And the principle of subsistence is in fact the best guarantee of giveable or marketable surpluses. This kind of protection is not 'isolationism.”
Wendell Berry

Reinhold Niebuhr
“Democracy is finding proximate solutions to insoluble problems.”
Reinhold Niebuhr

Robert A. Nisbet
“Man's alienation from man must lead in time to man's alienation from God”
Robert Nisbet, The Quest for Community: A Study in the Ethics of Order and Freedom
