Toryism quotes

  • The essence of Toryism is enjoyment†but as far as communicating and establishing your creed are concernedtrya little pleasure. The way to keep up old customs is, to enjoy old customs; the way to be satisfied with the present state of things is, to enjoy that state of things.

    -Walter Bagehot
