The whole modern world has divided itself into Conservatives and Progressives. The business of Progressives is to go on making mistakes. The business of Conservatives is to prevent mistakes from being corrected. Even when the revolutionist might himself repent of his revolution, the traditionalist is already defending it as part of his tradition. Thus we have two great types — the advanced person who rushes us into ruin, and the retrospective person who admires the ruins.
[G.K. Chesterton, 1924]

   
We all declare for liberty; but in using the same word we do not all mean the same thing.

With some the word liberty means for each man to do as he pleases with himself, and the product of his labor;   while with others, the same word means for some men to do as they please with other men, and the product of other men's labor.

Here are two incompatible things, called by the same name. And it follows that each [camp judges the other camp's meaning of liberty to be tyranny].
[Abraham Lincoln, 1864]
