[edit] Quotes
- "A nation is a community of values; and nationalism is a consciousness of values."
- "The Conservative's function is to create values which are worth conserving."
- "[The Conservative] has no ambition to see the world as a museum; he prefers it as a workshop, where he can create things which will serve as new foundations. His thought differs from the revolutionary's in that it does not trust things which were hastily begotten in the chaos of upheaval; things have a value for him only when they possess certain stability. Stable values spring from tradition. We may be the victims of catastrophes which overtake us, of revolutions which we cannot prevent, but tradition always re-emerges."
- "German nationalism is the champion of the Final Empire: ever promised, never fulfilled."
