Rhetoric and Respectability: Conservatives and the Problem of Language, by M. E. Bradford
"It is an unavoidable truth of the present political scene that, when ultimate terms [...] are invoked in debate over a specific issue, conservatives who worry about the craft of governing are often paralyzed with the fear of being disreputable. Forgetting their obligations to defend the inherited way of our culture, to oppose what threatens our security against an invader, our social peace, or economic stability, they are reluctant to forfeit the legitimacy of policies for the present - policies to which their reputation will attach - which they have in mind by offending against what they concede to be sacrosanct boundaries.

"Shall I say the praise of men, bright honor, the songs of my own race and the ways of fighters, are something read in a book only, or graven only in stone, and not in the hearts of men?"

"Certainly, the development of New England's colonies was distinctly different from the southern experience. New England was fast becoming a land of thrifty merchants, shipmasters, and bankers, inspired by the idea of a divine mission... but, in the meantime, often terribly arrogant, as is usual with righteous men, whose arrogance goes hand in hand with humility.

Chapter 5 of The Rise and Fall of the Plantation South
"The Brazilian planter lived as a patriarch, being to his big 'family' everything short of God: master, mentor, banker, administrator, tyrant, father... At its best, life there was calm and harmonious, lavish and luxurious, founded on the rhythm of agriculture.

"On the day war is declared the Espionage Act will come into effect, and all free discussion will cease. No one will have access to the radio who is not approved by the White House, and no newspaper will be able to dissent without grave risk of denunciation and ruin."

"Life without prejudice, were it ever to be tried, would soon reveal itself to be a life without principle. For prejudices, as we have seen earlier, are often built-in principles. They are the extract which the mind has made of experience."
