Who said “The essence of the Liberal outlook lies not in what opinions are held, but in how they…”?

“The liberals can understand everything but people who don't understand them.”

“Why is it that right-wing bastards always stand shoulder to shoulder in solidarity, while liberals fall out among themselves?”

“My objection to Liberalism is this -- that it is the introduction into the practical business of life of the highest kind -- namely, politics -- of philosophical ideas instead of political principles.”

“Liberalism -- it is well to recall this today -- is the supreme form of generosity; it is the right which the majority concedes to minorities and hence it is the noblest cry that has ever resounded in this planet. It announces the determination to share existence with the enemy; more than that, with an enemy which is weak.”

“The principle feature of American liberalism is sanctimoniousness. By loudly denouncing all bad things -- war and hunger and date rape -- liberals testify to their own terrific goodness. More important, they promote themselves to membership in a self-selecting elite of those who care deeply about such things. It's a kind of natural aristocracy, and the wonderful thing about this aristocracy is that you don't have to be brave, smart, strong or even lucky to join it, you just have to be liberal.”

“All movements go too far.”

“Drunkenness is temporary suicide.”

“All human activity is prompted by desire.”

“No one gossips about other people's secret virtues.”

“There is much pleasure to be gained from useless knowledge.”

“The good life is one inspired by love and guided by knowledge.”
