  “Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”

  If conservatives become convinced they cannot win democratically, they will not abandon conservatism. They will reject democracy.

  These two quotes sit pinned in my phone clipboard. They are used with regular frequency.
