peated tyrannies, the consuming poison of unremitting hatreds, the price of faithlessness. He finds in history the justifying wisdom of the ideals of love, justice, liberty, truth. And he turns to the future not indiscriminately to perpetuate the past with all its evils and its goods, but to improve upon the past in preserving only the best of it and snuffing out the worst. The conservative works for a world that will have no slaves; for a government that will work without extortionist taxation; for liberty without mob rule; for justice; for a society that will make a habit of honesty and true speech; for humane learning.
The conservative turns the clock back? Rather he turns to the past to make plans for the future. And his plans are revolutions.
