Liberty Letters Quote of the Day, William F. Buckley Jr.
I would rather be governed by the first two thousand people in the Boston telephone directory than by the two thousand people on the faculty at Harvard.
Liberty Letters is a project of The Moral Liberal. Compiled, and edited (with occasional commentary) by Editor in Chief, Steve Farrell.
The Moral Liberal recommends John F. McManus’s excellent book on Buckley: “William F. Buckley Jr.: Pied Piper of the Establishment.” For Buckley at his best, read his hard-hitting indictment of the godless, pro-socialist faculty at Yale: God and Man at Yale, a book he wrote shortly after his graduation from that “once upon a time” Christian institution.
