Selected Quotes - G.K. Chesterton

This quote was added by theubiquitous
The whole modern world has divided itself into Conservatives and Progressives. The business of Progressives is to go on making mistakes. The business of Conservatives is to prevent mistakes from being corrected. Even when the revolutionist might himself repent of his revolution, the traditionalist is already defending it as part of his tradition. Thus we have two great types: the advanced person who rushes us into ruin, and the retrospective person who admires the ruins.
