“Islam is an open-ended declaration of war against non-Muslims,” declared the priest, and those who carry out acts of violence and intolerance are only doing what their creed requires... Those who fail to recognise the real threat posed by Islam are naive and ignorant of history, he said, and unfortunately many in the Church fall into this category. Citing a letter he wrote last August to Pope Francis, Father Boulad said that “on the pretext of openness, tolerance and Christian charity — the Catholic Church has fallen into the trap of the liberal left ideology which is destroying the West.” -Father Henri Boulad
The only safe and honourable course for a self- respecting man is to do what I have decided to do, that is, to submit without protest to the penalty of disobedience . . . not for want of respect for lawful authority, but in obedience to the higher law of our being, the voice of conscience.--Mohandas K. Gandhi (1869-1948) (In R. Daniel Watkins' _An Encyclopedia of Compelling Quotations_ [2001], "Civil Disobedience")
Women don't want to hear what you think. Women want to hear what they think - in a deeper voice. -Bill Cosby
You will become a mere social wastrel, one of the hundreds of the pubic school failures, and you will degenerate into a shabby unhappy and futile existence,. If this is so you will have to bear all the blame for such misfortunes yourself. - Lord Randolf Churchill 1993 letter to his 18 year old son Winston accepted as a Sandhurst Cadet quoted in Churchill & Orwell: The Fight for Freedom by Thomas E. Ricks p9
