He was very conservative . . . .

I think a lot of people in the Conservative party came from other parties. There wouldn't be a Conservative party today if people hadn't come from other parties.

Habit is thus the enormous flywheel of society, its most precious conservative agent. It alone is what keeps us all within the bounds of ordinance, and saves the children of fortune from the envious uprisings of the poor.

He was obviously bright, a good lawyer, and served his clients well. When it got to be 5 p.m., he closed his law books and went home. He didn't fuss over things.

If our city officials would pull together, it would create excitement. Excitement is magnetic. People need to feel that they are part of a program to rebuild our community.

One of the biggest issues for me is focusing on industry and making it attractive so that people will come here.
