"We're not close. We're different people, we have different lives, we have entirely different pleasures, we live in different continents. If we weren't brothers we wouldn't know each other."

"Frankly, I could carve a better opposition party out of a banana than the Tories."

"It cannot be long before Britain has its first 24-year-old granny. When you abolish husbands and fathers, that is what you get. As the rules of civilised life are swept away and the only people interested in getting married are lesbian clergywomen, there will soon be thousands of them. And for every youthful grandmother, there will be at least one feral, abandoned male, stalking the streets. Britain's neglected poor, who once brought up their children in family homes with rules, are becoming a primitive tribe, stripped of the laws of civilisation and sinking into barbarism. The same barbarism, by the way, is mirrored among the loud and loutish rich."

"There is a strong moral case for strict border controls and severe limits on immigration. A country is the only unit in which it is possible for people to be effectively unselfish to their neighbours. Without its shared culture and loyalty, there can be no shared law, no shared willingness to pay taxes or accept authority, no free nation capable of protecting its own people from danger within and without, and of sheltering those fleeing from oppression elsewhere. This argument often goes unsaid because of the semi-official ideological censorship now operating in most Western countries, which is called political correctness and which smears all dissenting views, usually as 'racist'. It is important that those genuinely concerned with freedom and with the defence of civilisation armour themselves against this foolish attempt to suppress free debate, and perhaps reconsider positions taken more because they are modish than because they are defensible with truth and reason."

"A time traveller from Fifties Britain would probably die of shock within two hours of arriving in modernised Blairland — and be quite glad to do so. The fact that the restaurants are better just would not make up for the fact that almost everything else is worse."

"To anyone brought up when English literature, scripture, liturgy, poetry and hymns were still taught and learned, it is astonishing to find out how little they have in common with those who were raised and educated in the post-revolutionary culture. The pre-revolutionary survivor can finish other people's sentences, detect the rhythm in other people's speeches, recognise a score of allusions in a page of print. There is hardly a word or phrase which does not awake a richer thought, or an echo of something hauntingly similar."

"Smoking and buggery can both kill you, by exposing you to diseases you would not otherwise get. If homosexual acts were as common as smoking we would have to bury the victims in mass graves because AIDS slays so much faster than cancer, heart disease or emphysema."

"In an incredibly short time, we have been turned into a nation without heroes, without pride in our past or knowledge of either our past triumphs or our past follies and disasters. We are like an amnesia patient, waking up in the hospital ward, with both past and future great blank spaces stretching behind and before us, doomed to repeat mistakes we do not even know we have already made."

"A nation is the sum of its memories, and when those memories are allowed to die, it is less of a nation."

"In 1965, the people of Britain may have been poorer, smaller, shabbier, dirtier, colder, narrower, more set in their ways, ignorant of olive oil, polenta and – even – lager. But they knew what united them, they shared a complicated web of beliefs, attitudes, prejudices, loyalties and dislikes."

"To complain that a European Union official is a federalist, is like complaining that a bicycle has handlebars. That's what they are, that's what they do."

"The main thing missing from cartoons is today that old cartoons were cartoony. They did things you can't do in any other medium. Today's cartoons are very conservative and are more like live action. The characters look the same in every frame of the dang cartoon. The old cartoons squashed, stretched, and did crazy expressions. They were imaginative and crazy. A lot of cartoons aren't imaginative, they just say things. It might as well be radio. There is no point in having anything to look at in modern cartoons. But you can't say that about every cartoon. Genndy Tartakovsky's cartoons are beautiful. The closest thing now to what I'm saying is SpongeBob but even that doesn't go very far. It's like a conservative version of Ren & Stimpy."

"Illustration from the late 1900s up through the middle of the 20th century was absolutely amazing. In general, American culture was at its highest skill-wise in every aspect of human life in the 1940s. It's all been downhill since then. You just open an old magazine from the 1930s and '40s and look at the illustrations in it. There’s nobody alive that could touch the way they could draw back then."

"Let me make this clear: Ren & Stimpy really is a children's show. It was made for kids. I'm not putting anything in there that I don't think a kid can watch, or should watch. It's completely a kid's show."

"Not all cartoon humor is just about having bugged-out eyes and tongues flying out of people's heads."

"Forget the takes. Takes are cheap shots. Anyone can do a goddamn take. [...] You don't have to be a genius to draw a take. It's emotions—the full range of emotions—that works in Clampett's cartoons."

"Take a deep breath and take this to heart; God has nothing to do with broken promises. When He says, I promise, mark it down—it’s going to happen."

"Even if God could lie, He would have no motivation. He can gain nothing by lying. Everything He wants to have happen happens."

"It’s not unlikely that God would lie—that would be a matter of probability. It is impossible for God to lie."

"When God promises, He’s not saying, I’ll try. He means, I can and I will."

"This fight is not going to be over in 10 minutes or 10 weeks; there’s no quick solution. If you think it’s taking too long, remember, God is with you."

"You’ll face overwhelming odds; you’ll be incredibly outnumbered. Fear would be your natural inclination. But keep in mind, God is with you."

"Sometimes it feels like God backs away from you when you hit hard times, but that’s not true. (see Psalm 34:18)"

"The antidote for fear is the promise of God’s presence. God is with you. “For He has said, ‘I will never leave you nor forsake you.’”(Heb 13:5)"

"Fear is the contradiction of faith. Faith says, Whatever it is, it’ll be okay because of God."

"While you can’t keep fear from visiting, you can slam the door in its face. With God’s promise in your hand, that’s exactly what you are able to do."

"While we wait, God builds our faith in His promises."

"When you come to the place where you can’t do anything else, you must stand still and believe… When you can’t do anything, let God do it all."

"Don’t lean on your own understanding. If your trust in God is limited by your understanding of His ways, you will always have a limited trust."

"The Christian way is a life of faith. In order to hold on to the promises of God, you’ve got to believe them and live by them."

"Doubt is a lack of confidence or assurance that God will keep his promises. Faith is an active confidence that God’s promises are always true."

"When you say, I don’t know exactly what God is doing, but I know he’s in control—that’s evidence you’re trusting Him."

"You might not think it now, but if you’re one of God’s children, you’re going to figure it out by the end of your life—God is good."

"Don’t miss God’s fingerprints all over the events, lining up people and circumstances in perfect timing to preserve His people and advance His agenda."

"[God’s] purposes are always accomplished. His enemies are always defeated. His faithful followers are always rewarded. His Son’s throne will be established forever."

"I will not fail: God is always victorious."

"Difficult trials will naturally evoke powerful emotions in us. How would your circumstances look today if you chose to focus first on God’s promises?"

"At this moment, God is watching your life and at some point in this trial, He will say enough. You don’t need to falter."

"Too many times we’re looking for ways to get around deep waters and dangerous fires, rather than through them. Has this ever been your experience?"

"God looked through eternity past and He saw you and He chose to reach out and redeem you by His own grace. It’s hard to imagine that kind of love."

"Only when we have done all we knew to do can we wait by faith for God to do what only He can do."

"By your grace, I will not despair. I believe that I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living."

"I want to be a part of the grand plan. Being on board with God’s objectives means I understand that this is not about me."

"If He wasn’t going to use that hard thing for your good, it wouldn’t have happened. He had to sign off on every single thing that touches your life."

"It doesn’t matter what has happened, better things are coming. God’s plan produces hope in me."

"We all know the disappointments that come when we base anticipation on what we and other humans can deliver. God will never have a problem delivering!"

"What kind of future is in God’s plan? A good one to which you can look forward. That’s why you can hope."

"Eventually you can see that your pain was part of a much larger picture that God was carefully painting."

"Our prayer must be, “Father, I’m waiting for You because I know You are good in what You do and in when you do it.”"

"His disposition is kindness. His default action is for your benefit. He’s good! And someday you will taste it!"
