| "How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property, either as a child, a wife, or a concubine, must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men. Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities - but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it had vainly struggled, the civilisation of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilisation of ancient Rome." |

| [Critics of the reforms are unlikely to be assuaged, and they will raise many of their concerns again when the reform bill returns to the Commons in October before heading to the Lords. Its architects might do well to reflect on another quote, from one of Woodrow Wilson's contemporaries.] There's nothing wrong with change, ... if it's in the right direction. |
| [Lady Nancy Astor:] Winston, if you were my husband, I'd put poison in your coffee. ... Nancy, if you were my wife, I'd drink it. |
| [Playing golf is] like chasing a quinine pill around a cow pasture. |
| A cat will look down to a man. A dog will look up to a man. But a pig will look you straight in the eye and see his equal. |
| A communist is like a crocodile: when it opens its mouth you cannot tell whether it is trying to smile or preparing to eat you up |
