"There is, moreover, another enemy at home. That enemy is the mean and petty spirit that mocks at ideals, sneers at sacrifice and pretends the American people can live by bread alone. If the spirit of God is not in us, and if we will not prepare to give all that we are to preserve Christian civilization in our own land, we shall go to destruction."
FDR, September 2, 1940 at the Dedication Ceremony of Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Newfound Cap, Tennessee

Roger Scruton: “the real reason people are conservatives is that they are attached to the things they love” — family, friends, religion, home. It is the triumph of the somewheres over the anywheres; of a love of home over an abstract unachievable utopia (nowhere).
Yesterday's liberals will be remembered only by tomorrow's conservatives.
