wise art stars
[Wise men] have tried to understand our state of being, by grasping at its stars, or its arts, or its economics.

philosophy guiding-principles often-is
The task of the political philosopher can only be to influence public opinion, not to organize people for action. He will do so effectively only if he is not concerned with what is now politically possible but consistently defends the "general principles which are always the same."

Conservatism may often be a useful practical maxim, but it does not give us any guiding principles which can influence long-range developments. Friedrich August von Hayek
