“In revolt against this new and very evil thing came the republicanism ...” — Ralph Adams Cram Quote

“In revolt against this new and very evil thing came the republicanism of the eighteenth century, inspired and directed in large measure by members of the fast perishing aristocracy of race, character and tradition.”

“If we had this back, and in full measure; if society were infused by it, through and through, and men lived its life, and in its life, philosophy would take care of itself and the nature of our institutions would not matter.”

“The pursuit of perfection always implies a definite aristocracy, which is as much a goal of effort as a noble philosophy, an august civil polity or a great art.”

“We are the only real aristocracy in the world: the aristocracy of money.”

“I'm not from aristocracy, or anything like that.”

“The present aristocracy of western culture, at the moment when it most clearly dominates the world, is being imitated rapidly and successfully in every eastern country.”
