To be conservative, then, is to prefer the familiar to the unknown, to prefer the tried to the untried, fact to mystery, the actual to the possible, the limited to the unbounded, the near to the distant, the sufficient to the superabundant, the convenient to the perfect, present laughter to utopian bliss.
保守主義就是偏愛熟悉而非陌生，偏愛經(jīng)過嘗試而非未經(jīng)嘗試，偏愛事實(shí)而非神秘，偏愛實(shí)際而非可能，偏愛有限而非無限，偏愛近處而非遠(yuǎn)方，偏愛足夠而非過剩，偏愛便利而非完美，偏愛當(dāng)下的歡笑而非烏托邦的幸福。
