Conservative

Famous quotes containing the word conservative:

“A Conservative government is an organised hypocrisy.”

“I never dared to be radical when young
For fear it would make me conservative when old.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)

“When people put their ballots in the boxes, they are, by that act, inoculated against the feeling that the government is not theirs. They then accept, in some measure, that its errors are their errors, its aberrations their aberrations, that any revolt will be against them. It’s a remarkably shrewed and rather conservative arrangement when one thinks of it.”
—John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)
