Russel Kirk's "Principals that Have Endured"
From amazon.com
Kirk wrote that certain principles endured over time, having arisen from centuries of trial and error in human experience. They included:
1) belief in a transcendent order and natural law;
2) affection for variety and mystery over uniformity, egalitarianism, and utilitarianism;
3) recognition of natural hierarchies and talents over equality;
4) belief that freedom and property are connected;
5) preference for prescription, custom, and convention over rational or economic planning
