But I was able to do the same things the others did; with a little effort and industry I could read Plato, was able to solve problems in trigonometry or follow a chemical analysis.

This I could not do. Perhaps I would become something similar but how was I to know?

Perhaps I would reach this goal but it would turn out to be an evil, dangerous, horrible one?"

16. "To be conservative in politics is to take one's bearings not from the latest bright idea about how to make a better world, but by looking carefully at what the past reveals both about the kind of people we are and the problems that concern us. As we get older, we often become conservative in our habits, in our family practices, and in our recognition of the richness of our civilization, but this evolution of our character into a set of habits in no way blocks adventurousness.

But it is in the ordinary business of life that we find our excitement, not in foolish collective dreams of political perfection."
