World magazine has a nice interview with Mr. Buckley (WFB), founder of National Review magazine and conservative icon.Nobody turns a phrase like WFB. In answering a question about his ability to civilly debate his opponents, he says:
It is to be expected that the most conspicuous representatives of antagonistic positions will pitch their voices in such a way as to please the ideological mobs. But time tends to dull political lances inordinately honed.I love that! "Time tends to dull political lances inordinately honed." It is my life goal to use that in conversation at least once.
The interview ends with this exchange:
WORLD: Looking back at your life, what was a waste of time, and what should you have spent more time doing?There's no one like him.
WFB: I waste a lot of time, and if I knew on what, I'd stop doing it.
