"Unity is also our health service. (...) We can make it better if we change the way of thinking. The health service must be about treating patients, not just providing a paid service. Doctors have a duty to treat patients. Although money is a part of such treatment, it must remain a secondary factor, because the health service must put patients’ interests first."

"Major changes are required in the education – we need to raise our behavioral standards; we need to instill the essential sense of identity. We cannot succeed without our identity and we learnt that from other countries’ experience. Those that succeeded have built strong unity, whereas our unity has been consistently destroyed over the last 20 years."

"The people of Myanmar will go down in history for being a part of the formation of a new nation."

"Mauritius will continue to pursue its engagement with its friendly partners and international organizations with the objective of generating mutual goodwill and building stronger relationships."

"Although I dreamed of flying from childhood, that was utterly unthinkable. I had to start work early, a shoeshine boy — a poor man's profession — or selling vegetables."

"If you start to count how many countries participated from Europe (in this Open Parliament in a Post-COVID Context: Global Examples of Resilience and Planning for 2022 and Beyond forum in Taipei on 9–10 December 2021), it is a big amount and it means that at least the politicians in those countries are supporting EU ties with Taiwan."

"Zimbabweans should learn from my country when it comes to elections. During election time there is peace and everything goes on in the normal way, without violence. I believe that as soon as Zimbabwe has elections, things will be back to normal"

"It is acceptable that people belong to various political parties. What is important is building the nation. Fighting one another through party politics will not build the country. Whether one is Zanu (PF) or MDC, the fact is that you are all Zimbabweans at the end of the day"

"No amount of outside intervention can solve Zimbabwe’s internal problems. The people should unite and work together to revive the economy. We are all waiting for the country to be the breadbasket of the continent again."

"Government alone cannot succeed. It is through efforts such as these that many dreams can be realised. I cannot express my happiness at the success of such a tournament because it does not only bring people together but it also helps expose the talent that we have."

"...that gender equality is not just a phenomenon, but a reality that we all have to embrace if we are to achieve international, continental, regional and national sustainable development."

"The line of credit will assist Zimbabwe as it has no access to international lenders like the World Bank and International Monetary Fund. It is vital that industries are resuscitated to create employment."

"We will continue to assist Zimbabwe – but it does not mean we can solve its problems. If we don’t help our neighbour what will happen when our country is on fire?"

"Poland is stable politically. The opposition is making it impossible for parliament to work."

"I always say that as a President of my country, President of Poland, I would like to have the best relations with all our neighbors."

"I will never agree with statements that Poles as a nation participated in the Holocaust or Poland participated in the Holocaust. It humiliates us and hurts us. In my own family, there were people murdered by the Germans, and first and foremost [to say the contrary] waters down what really happened."

"This is not why my parents’ generation for 40 years struggled to expel communist ideology from schools, so that it could not be foisted on children, could not brainwash and indoctrinate them. They did not fight so that we would now accept that another ideology, even more destructive to man, would come along, an ideology which under the clichés of respect and tolerance hides deep intolerance."

"Peace and law - two words, without which co-existence of nations, ethnic groups or those whose religions are different, is unimaginable. Peace and law - terms that are beautiful, important, but very brittle, that need to be taken care of, than need to be - without any interruptions - treated well. We, the Poles, know it perfectly, that peace cannot be taken for granted."

"I wanted Poland to be, right from the start, a country of solidarity, a country not guided by the rule: the weaker has to die. Therefore, we tried to protect each and every life with the same commitment. Therefore, whenever we could, we tried to show solidarity with other nations who needed assistance at a given time."

"If someone is undertaking aggressive military activities in Ukraine and Syria, if someone is bolstering his military presence near his neighbors ... then we have an unequivocal answer regarding who wants to start a new Cold War. Certainly, it is not Poland or the NATO alliance."

"I was raised in a family that has always been Catholic, for generations. That's the type of family I grew up in. This connection to the Church, to the Catholic Christian community, was always a fact, from the beginning of my life."

"My king, lord Acimbabbar, you are on your throne because of Enlil. Youthful Suen, lord Acimbabbar, you are on your throne because of Enlil. I, the king, whose fate was already decreed in the true womb, who raises his head in authority, Ur-Namma, the youth who caught the eyes of the Great Mountain, Enlil, was chosen by Nunamnir in Sumer and Akkad. He decreed my fate in Nibru, in the mountain of life. He beamed at me approvingly and bestowed the kingship on me. In Urim, in the E-mud-kura, he made the foundation of my throne firm."

"Enki presented me with my broad wisdom."

"ln my city I dug a canal of abundance and named it the Kec-kug canal; in Urim, I dug a canal of abundance and named it the Kec-kug canal. I named it the Pabi-luh canal, a lasting name worthy to be praised. The watercourse of my city is full of fish, and the air above it is full of birds. The watercourse of Urim is full of fish, and the air above it is full of birds. In my city honey-plants are planted, and the carp grow fat. In Urim honey-plants are planted, and the carp grow fat. The gizi reed of my city is so sweet that the cows eat them. The gizi reed of Urim is so sweet that the cows eat them."

"May the watercourse bring them (the fish) into my canal, may they be carried in baskets to him. May the watercourse bring them into Urim, into my canal, may they be carried in baskets to him."

"Its king is the master of Eridug -- your provider (Ur-Namma) is exultant. Nudimmud, the master of g -- your provider is exultant. King of the four quarters, you who make Enlil content, Ur-Namma, provider of Nibru, supporter of Urim, with you the people pass the time joyously at moonlight over the Land of Urim. Ur-Namma, king of Urim, sweet is your praise!"

"E-temen-ni-guru, a delightful residence."

"Who will dig it? Who will dig it? Who will dig the canal? Who will dig the Kec-kug canal? Who will dig the canal? Who will dig the Pabi-luh canal? Who will dig the canal? Wealthy Ur-Namma will dig it. The trustworthy, prosperous youth will dig it."

"Like all the other countries of our boreal world, we are being destroyed by the very people who should protect us. We are being undermined by our universities, our journalists. By the people who receive our art grants and who design our buildings. And above all, we are undermined by our directors."

"The West suffers from an autoimmune disease. A part of our organism — an important part: our immune system, which ought to protect us — has turned itself against us. At every level, we are being weakened, undermined, and surrendered. Malicious, aggressive elements are led into our social bodies in unheard numbers, and the actual circumstances and consequences are obscured."

"I do not want Europe to Africanize, I want Europa to stay dominantly white and remain culturally the way it is."

"The EU was founded to wage war and reduce free trade. Since the thought behind it was that the Soviet Union had to be countered and that this could only be done with a command economy behind the facade of a fake national democracy. So the EU has nothing to do with peace and prosperity."

"I oppose contemporary art's fundamental point of departure - namely alienation, political "statements", oikophobia, self-hatred, and the deconstruction of our identity."

"How long are the party cartel and the job carousel going to abuse our patience, when the flagship of renaissance is ready to set sail?"

"Thierry Baudet I met him once. A very likeable man. He wants the Netherlands to remain the Netherlands. Just as France has to remain France."

"Minerva's owl spreads its wings at nightfall."

"We have survived multiple ice ages, we have knocked down mammoths, we are carriers, we are heirs to the greatest civilization that ever existed."

"It is a masochistic heresy, this secularized Flood belief, which has taken hold of the hearts and minds of our rulers today. A mania, similar to the death cult that once ravaged Easter Island."

"We have been called to the front. Because we have to, because our country needs us."

"Cultural relativism, the ruling ethos of Europe's political establishment, is gradually destroying our traditions and cultural identity. The so-called multicultural society tells newcomers who settle in our cities and villages: you are free to violate our norms and values, since your culture is just as good, and perhaps even better, than ours."

"De analyse is helder, we hebben een groot probleem met de islam, ook in Nederland. De oplossing is ook niet zo gecompliceerd; wat ontbreekt is politieke lef en gevoel van urgentie. Immigratie uit islamitische landen moet worden verboden. We moeten leren intolerant te zijn tegen de intoleranten, op straat, in de moskee en in de rechtbank. We moeten haat en geweld van terroristen beantwoorden met uitsluiting en intolerantie en laten zien wie de baas is in Nederland."

"Fortunately, the first Islamic invasion of Europe was stopped at Poitiers in 732; the second in Vienna in 1683. [L]et us ensure that the third Islamic invasion, which is currently in full spate, will be stopped too in spite of its insidious nature and notwithstanding the fact that, in contrast to the 8th and 17th centuries, it has no need for an Islamic army because the scared "dhimmis" in the West, also those in Dutch politics, have left their doors wide open to Islam and Muslims."

"Islam is the Trojan Horse in Europe. If we do not stop Islamification now, Eurabia and Netherabia will just be a matter of time. One century ago, there were approximately 50 Muslims in the Netherlands. Today, there are about 1 million Muslims in this country. Where will it end? We are heading for the end of European and Dutch civilisation as we know it."

"I feel ashamed for all those in the government and in parliament who refuse to stop the Islamic invasion."

"I don't hate Muslims. I hate Islam."

"Islam is not a religion, it's an ideology, the ideology of a retarded culture."

"There is no equality between our culture and the retarded Islamic culture. Look at their views on homosexuality or women."

"Islam is something we can't afford any more in the Netherlands. I want the fascist Koran banned. We need to stop the Islamisation of the Netherlands. That means no more mosques, no more Islamic schools, no more imams... Not all Muslims are terrorists, but almost all terrorists are Muslims."

"The Koran is an inspiration for intolerance, murder and terror."

"Take a walk down the street and see where this is going. You no longer feel like you are living in your own country. There is a battle going on and we have to defend ourselves. Before you know it there will be more mosques than churches!"
