Russell Kirk Quotes

Demosthenes, The Great Athenian Patriot, Cried Out To His Countrymen When They Seemed Too Confused And Divided To Stand Against The Tyranny Of Macedonia: "In God's Name, I Beg Of You To Think." For A Long While, Most Athenians Ridiculed Demosthenes' Entreaty: Macedonia Was A Great Way Distant, And There Was Plenty Of Time. Only At The Eleventh Hour Did The Athenians Perceive The Truth Of His Exhortations. And That Eleventh Hour Was Too Late. So It May Be With Americans Today. If We Are Too Indolent To Think, We Might As Well Surrender To Our Enemies Tomorrow.
