More quotes by William F. Buckley, Jr.
The principal sponsors of the terrorists are not religious fanatics.

William F. Buckley, Jr.

William F. Buckley, Jr.
Why does baloney avoid the grinder?
William F. Buckley, Jr.
Some of my instincts are reprehensible.
William F. Buckley, Jr.
We love your adherence to democratic principles.
William F. Buckley, Jr.
I mean to live my life an obedient man, but obedient to God, subservient to the wisdom of my ancestors never to the authority of political truths arrived at yesterday at the voting booth.
William F. Buckley, Jr.
It seems to me that the idea traditionally defended of endeavoring to maintain existing ethnic balances simply doesn't work any more.
William F. Buckley, Jr.
He was a conservative all right, but invariably he gave the impression that he was a conservative because he was surrounded by liberals that he had been a revolutionist if that had been required in order to be socially disruptive.
William F. Buckley, Jr.
Kennedy after all has lots of glamour - Gregory Peck with an atom bomb in his holster.
William F. Buckley, Jr.
I profoundly believe it takes a lot of practice to become a moral slob.
