Fred Phelps

Fred Waldron Phelps, Sr. (13 November 1929 – 19 March 2014) was an American pastor who founded the Westboro Baptist Church (WBC), an independent Baptist church based in Topeka, Kansas known for its incendiary protests against gays. In 2013, he was reportedly excommunicated from the church and allegedly abandoned his anti-homosexual views, dying in 2014.

1990s

 * In our experience, no modern country is more repressive of human rights than the USA. The vaunted First Amendment is nothing but empty words on paper…we will journey to China at our expense, and tell our story of modern American repression of human rights, upon invitation.

Letter to Boris Yeltsin (1997)

 * Homosexuals now pervade and control American government at every level and branch. Thus, only those churches that support and promote the militant homosexual agenda enjoy religious freedom. Any church in America that dares to preach what the Bible says about soul-damning, nation-destroying moral filth of the vile homosexual beasts among us, loses all Constitutional guarantees of religious freedom and speech rights.

Letter to Saddam Hussein (1997)

 * We understand that Iraq is the only Muslim state that allows the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ to be freely and openly preached on the streets without fear of arrest and prosecution. Alas, the United States no longer allows the Gospel to be freely and openly preached on the streets, because militant sodomites now control our government, and they violently object to the Bible message...The same majoritarian sodomite tyranny that now guides the Clinton administration's repressive policies toward Gospel preaching on America's streets, is apparently responsible — at least in part — for the merciless slaughter by starvation of 400 innocent Iraqi babies each day in your country. If our government and laws will allow it, and at the invitation of your government, we would like to send a delegation from Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kansas, to preach the Gospel on the streets of Baghdad for one week in the near future.

God Hates America (2001)

 * Concerning the September 11 attacks. The following quotes were taken from: "Sermon_20010914.mp3". WBC Download Center. Westboro Baptist Church. September 14, 2001.

 * God hates America, and those calamities last Tuesday are none other than the wrath of God, smiting fag America... That wasn't any accident. That wasn't any coincidence. There's only America to blame for those tragedies.
 * How many do you suppose of those hundred [sic] and thirty soldiers died  [sic] in the Pentagon last Tuesday were fags and dykes? And how many do you suppose were working in that massively composed building structure called those two World Trade Center buildings, Twin Towers? There were five thousand or ten thousand killed and, counting all those passengers in those airplanes, it's very likely that every last single one of them was a fag or dyke or a fag enabler, and that the minute he died, he split hell wide open, and the way to analyze the situation is that the Lord God Almighty, pursuant to His threatenings and warnings, killed him, looked him in the face, laughed and mocked at each one of them as He cast each one of them into Hell!
 * God hates America, and God demonstrated that hatred to some modest degree only last Tuesday -- sent in those bombers, those hellacious 767 Boeing bombers, and it was a glorious sight. What you need to do is see in those flames -- those sickening, twisting, burning, life-destroying flames, brightly shining from every television set around the world! You need to see in those flames a little preview of the flames of Hell that are going to soon engulf you, my friend. Burn your soul forever!
 * You are a Bible pervert, Bush! And I knew it, the minute you hired that fag to run your White House and told Rumsfeld to hire that fag  [Stephen] Herbits, Steven  [sic] Herbits, to screen all the applicants for employment to the Pentagon.
 * "Sermon_20010914.mp3". WBC Download Center. Westboro Baptist Church. September 14, 2001
 * I tell you, my friends, it's a sin to pray for the USA. And nobody that's intelligent, and that fears God, will fly the American flag any way but upside-down, the international signal of distress... It's too late to pray for the USA.

Neighborhood Menace (2003)

 * Mr. Rogers gave aid and comfort to homosexuals. He was a man who preached tolerance of all sorts of people in ways that directly contradicted the Bible. His syrupy teachings led millions astray. He was a wuss and he was an enabler of wusses.
 * As quoted in Neighborhood Menace (March 2003), a column by Tony Norman on Post-Gazette.com.

Thank God for the Tsunami (2004)

 * Thank God for the tsunami, and thank God that two thousand dead Swedes are fertilizing the ground over there [in Asia]. How many of these two thousand, do you suppose, were fags and dykes? This is how the Lord deals with His enemies. And the Lord has got some enemies. And Sweden heads the list. You filthy Swedes. You filthy Swedes!

Bill O'Reilly & Rush Limbaugh: Satan's SpinDoctors (2006)

 * Bill O'Reilly is a demon-possessed messenger of Satan. O'Reilly regularly slanders Westboro Baptist Church on his program, and he only has guests who join him in slandering Westboro Baptist Church, and refuses to allow Westboro Baptist Church to respond! Thus, Bill O'Reilly is a blaspheming hell-bound hypocrite claiming to be fair and balanced and running a no-spin zone. Hah! O'Reilly is of his father the Devil.
 * "Bill O'Reilly & Rush Limbaugh: Satan's SpinDoctors." WBC Video News. Westboro Baptist Church. July 27, 2006.
 * God hates fags! God hates America! Thank God for dead soldiers! You're going to hell!

9/11: God's Wrath Revealed (2006)

 * The following quotes were taken from: "9/11: God's Wrath Revealed" WBC Video News. Westboro Baptist Church. September 8, 2006.

 * Thank God for 9/11. Thank God that, five years ago, the wrath of God was poured out upon this evil nation. America, land of the sodomite damned. We thank thee, Lord God Almighty, for answering the prayers of those that are under the altar.
 * We told you, right after it happened five years ago, that the deadly events of 9/11 were direct outpourings of divine retribution, the immediate visitation of God's wrath and vengeance and punishment for America's horrendous sodomite sins, that worse and more of it was on the way. We further told you that any politician, any political official, any preacher telling you differently as to the cause and interpretation of 9/11 is a dastardly lying false prophet, cowardly and mean, and headed for hell. And taking you with him! God is no longer with America, but is now America's enemy. God himself is now America's terrorist.
 * Stiff-necked America, in flagrant rebellion against God, is indulging a caterwauling orgy of sinful maudlin cinementality on the 5th anniversary of God's 9/11 vengeance upon this evil nation for its sodomite sins!
 * For ten long weary years prior to 9/11, WBC warned you daily on the mean streets of this nation that your sodomite sins will be avenged by an angry God except you repent. You persecuted us for our trouble, thereby aggravating your great transgression. On 9/11/01, God Almighty dealt backsliding America a staggering blow.
 * It is the obligation of Westboro Baptist Church to put the cup of God's fury to America's lips, and cause America to drink it. And you will drink it!

Insult to God Almighty (2007)

 * Same-sex marriage, by any name, civil union or otherwise, is the ultimate smashed-mouth in-your-face insult to God Almighty, and you think He's going to let England and America and the rest of this evil world get by with it? God Almighty has not joined fags in holy wedlock. God no longer keeps America safe. America is doomed. We're getting the pants beat off of us, in Iraq, in Afghanistan. God is now America's terrorist, that's who Bush is fighting, that's the terrorist that he best be afraid of. You tweaked His nose, you jackass, you tweaked His nose! God put it in your wicked heart to start that war. That's the message we've got at the funerals of these dead soldiers. God duped you into starting a war, so He could punish you. And any preacher preaching it any other way is a lying hell-bound false prophet. So almost eighteen months now and the siege has got people eating their babies, and their small children, and each other! You're going to eat your babies! God Himself duped Bush into a no-win war, and He did that by the technique of putting a lying spirit in the mouth of all his trusted advisers, to punish America.

Virginia Tech Massacre: God's Wrath (2007)

 * The following quotes were taken from: "Virginia Tech Massacre: God's Wrath" WBC Video News. Westboro Baptist Church. April 23, 2007.

 * The Lord sent a world-class whopper of a massacre to Virginia Tech, killing thirty-three, drawing headlines like 'Shocked!', 'Horrified!', 'The worst massacre in US history!'. Well, we wish you were thirty-three thousand killed, but we are thankful to our Father for thirty-three.
 * President Bush and thousands of others, politicians and preachers, are making speeches and lying in [sic] their teeth, all agreeing that they can't explain such tragedies, but they're just certain a loving God had nothing to do with the massacre. They say, evil did it, like Star Wars, some evil force.
 * Bush said, in a big memorial service the other day, we've come to mourn and grieve and try to make some kind of sense out of this senseless tragedy that makes no sense. Well, wrong, President Bush. It makes perfect sense, to those who believe the Bible. [The victims of the massacre] died for America's sins and persecuting Westboro Baptist Church.
 * God is punishing America for the way they have persecuted us at Westboro Baptist Church, and worse and more of [the Virginia Tech massacre ] is coming and this evil sodomite nation is doomed.
 * "Virginia Tech Massacre: God's Wrath." WBC Video News. Westboro Baptist Church. April 23, 2007.
 * For sixteen years, America has conducted a crusade of terror against Westboro Baptist Church: bombing and vandalizing our property, raiding our church with lying search warrants, seizing and destroying our goods, assaulting and battering us, putting our people in the hospital, slandering, threatening us with death, suing us, prosecuting us, arresting and jailing us, blaspheming, mocking and scoffing at our message from God, vilifying us, demonizing and marginalizing us, a technique that they hope would silence all those who are trying to preach, saying that we're just a bunch of kooks... Only brute beast blindness explains America's conduct against Westboro Baptist Church. By refusing to heed Westboro Baptist Church, that God hates fags, and by continuing to persecute Westboro Baptist Church, America is pouring gasoline on the raging fires of God's wrath. America may expect many more dead and maimed bodies from Iraq, many more Katrinas and other natural disasters, and many more Virginia Tech massacres. Westboro Baptist Church rejoices, not grieves, when we see God's vengeance... Think, America. Think Iraq. Think Katrina. And think Virginia Tech massacre, because worse and more is on the way.

Jerry Falwell Split Hell Wide Open (2007)

 * "Jerry Falwell Split Hell Wide Open", WBC Video News. Westboro Baptist Church. May 18, 2007.

 * On Tuesday, May 14, the old fat false prophet Jerry Falwell died and entered hell. As the old preacher used to put it, he split hell wide open... Hell from beneath was moved to meet Falwell at his coming, rousing the dead, even those that used to be bigshots on Earth now in hell greeting him with such words as these:  'Why, hello, Reverend Fraudwell, you old money-grubbing pervert!' ... As a young preacher in Springfield, Missouri, Falwell was a true Calvinistic Baptist preacher who believed and preached the truth. But he saw early on that his lust for power and lucre could never be satisfied if he was faithful to the word of God. And so the old fool like the false prophet Balaam sold his soul for a mess of free will-ism, God loves everybody-ism, Arminianism, lies — sold his soul for lies.

Ireland (2007)

 * We warned that WBC has had lots of experience with Ireland's militant sodomite citizenry, steeped for many decades in ignorant, blind idolatrous Catholicism, belching out their vile fagspeak, slander and blasphemy against God and His word.

Snyder v. Westboro Baptist Church (2007)

 * The following quotes were taken from: Federal Jury Awards Nearly $11 Million Over Funeral Protests; Oklahoma Set to Crack Down on Illegal Immigration; Noose Outrage. Presenter: Rick Sanchez. CNN Live Event/Special. October 31, 2007 - 20:00 ET.

 * All [the Snyder v. Westboro Baptist Church case] was, was a protestation by the government of the United States against the word of God. They don't want me preaching that God is punishing America by killing those servicemen.
 * The very idea of putting a preacher on trial for what he preaches, the very idea, you ought to be ashamed of yourselves!

George Carlin In Hell (2008)

 * "George Carlin in Hell" WBC Video News''. Westboro Baptist Church. June 24, 2008.

 * George Carlin is now in hell, and it is not relevant that George Carlin boasted that he does not believe in hell when he lived on Earth. Be assured, Carlin believes in hell now... George Carlin, the filthy blasphemer, the obscene potty-mouth skeptic, agnostic and profane atheist, who had nothing but disdain for the God and the Bible all the days of his tragic life, is now at this minute and forever writhing and screaming in exquisite pain, pleading for mercy from that God he flipped off while performing for HBO lucre... When Carlin died, June 22nd, he split hell wide open...Hell from below was moved beneath thee at thy coming, it stirreth up the dead for thee. Are thou as weak as we George Carlin?! The worm is spread under thee and the worm covers thee.George Carlin is in hell. Deal with it. You will soon join him there. America is doomed. We will picket George Carlin's funeral..Amen!

God Hates Canada (2008)

 * The following quotes were taken from: "God Hates Canada." WBC Video News. Westboro Baptist Church. July 31, 2008.

 * Canada is a filthy country run by fags, which has Draconian laws making it a crime to preach the Gospel there. All of these cowardly kissy-poo preachers who telecast their milquetoast sermons into Canada have to edit out every single word critical of fags -- snip, snip, snip -- or the fag officials of Canada will arrest and criminally prosecute the Canadian affiliates, and shut down their stations! There's no freedom of speech in Canada. There's no freedom of religion in Canada. It is against the law to read the Bible in Canada.
 * Our church has had a lot of bad dealings with those demon-possessed Canadians! A big Canadian flag flies at our church upside-down, the international symbol of distress. We fly it day and night, to educate and warn people about the fagi-nazi regime just to the north of us. Canadians are afraid of their tyrannical fag-run government. You can determine for yourself about Canada, and keep as far away from them as you can.

God Hates Australia (2009)

 * The following quotes were taken from: "God Hates Australia", WBC Video News, Westboro Baptist Church (12 February 2009).

 * God hates Australia, land of the sodomite damned! The fag-infested land of Australia is burning. The fire of God's wrath is sending hundreds of those filthy Australian beasts straight to hell! We at Westboro Baptist Church are rejoicing, and we are praying that the dear Lord would burn many more Australians alive!
 * Don't you stupid Aussies get it? Australia is doomed! Nothing, and nobody, can help you. You have sinned willfully after you have received knowledge of the truth.

Fag-Lover Obama (2009)

 * "Fag Lover Obama." WBC Video News. Westboro Baptist Church. June 4, 2009.

 * The president whose moral values would permit him to kill his unborn grandchildren if his daughters get pregnant by mistake, that same president has now issued a formal proclamation glorifying sodomite sin!
 * This evil man has proclaimed June as the month to be proud of abominable sins against God!... God then affixed the death penalty for doing what the LGBT fags do, fornicating day and night, and what Obama gratuitously said we must be proud of!
 * This jackass of a president ought to proclaim pride month for decency, abstinence and chastity, not for the most abominable sins known to mankind — in the estimation of God Almighty, that is. Obama will bring down the curses of God upon the whole creation. Remember, you ignorant Americans, you Obama-worshippers around the world, we warned you. He raises a false argument ordering that nobody discriminate against fags. Listen up, you Bible-ignorant moron! It is neither wrongful nor sinful to discriminate against sin!

Thank God for the Violent Shooter (2011)

 * Thank God for the violent shooter, one of your soldier heroes in Tucson. God appointed the Afghanistan veteran to avenge himself on this evil nation. However many are dead, Westboro Baptist Church will picket their funerals. We will remind the living that you can still repent and obey. This is ultimatum time with God. Except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. Luke 13:3. This nation unleashed criminal violent veterans on Westboro Baptist Church for telling you to obey God. We told you at your soldiers' funerals that they are dying for your sins. You hate those words and you will not stop sinning. So you sent violent veterans, so-called patriot guard riders, to attack and try to silence Westboro Baptist Church. Then you sent violent crippled veteran Ryan Newell with 90 rounds of ammunition, planning to shoot five Westboro Baptist Church members while picketing. God restrained the hand of them all, then he turned the violent veteran on you. 22-year-old Jared Loughner opened fire outside a Tucson, Arizona grocery store, shooting Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, Federal Judge John M. Roll, and sixteen others. At least six are dead and counting. Congress passed three laws against Westboro Baptist Church. Congresswoman Giffords, an avid supporter of sin and baby-killing, was shot for that mischief. A federal judge in Baltimore, part of the massive military community in Maryland and in the District of Columbia, put Westboro Baptist Church on trial for faithful words from God. Federal Judge Roll paid for those sins with his life. Today, mouthy witch Sarah Palin had Representative Giffords in her crosshairs on her website. She quick took it down, however, because she is a cowardly brute like the rest of you. The crosshairs to worry about are God's and he's put you in his and your destruction is upon you. You should have obeyed. This nation of violent murderers is in full rebellion against God. God avenged himself on you today by a marvelous work in Tucson. He sits in the heavens and laughs at you in your affliction. Westboro Baptist Church prays for more shooters, more violent veterans, and more dead. Praise God for his righteous judgments in this Earth. Amen.

Quotes about Phelps and the WBC

 * We need more Fred Phelps in this world. May you rest in peace sir. No, I'm not kidding! This world needs to get back to the biblical standards that our God made for us. This guy was not afraid to preach it, and I respect that.
 * Edward Farrell, vice mayor of Maricopa, Arizona, Facebook,, quoted in Reacting to a satirical obituary, , and to a commenter asking if his praise of Phelps was a joke
 * The Ku Klux Klan, LLC. has not or EVER will have ANY connection with The 'Westboro Baptist Church'. We absolutely repudiate their activities.
 * Ku Klux Klan, white supremacist group
 * Fred Phelps is a patriotic American, and we need more people like him to survive as a nation.
 * Michael Savage, conservative talk radio host, December 14, 2009
 * I think that the pastor [Fred Phelps] is not a very nice person. I think he's an angry person who's twisted the Bible and picked and chosen verses that support his anger, that sort of justify his anger, and he's instilled that in his children and they've passed it on to their children. Although the second and third generation are by and large quite nice people from what I saw, they still live under the influence of their Gramps.
 * Louis Theroux, British-American broadcaster and host of documentary The Most Hated Family in America. As quoted in America's most hated family. BBC News Magazine. March 30, 2007.
 * There's a lot of weird stuff in [the Christian Bible] and when you take that and you add this angry, domineering kind of a father figure, which is Gramps [Fred Phelps], and you add that he has sort of separated them off from other people, other families and driven them to achieve a lot, and he was kind of a charismatic guy, and still is up to a point. He was a very verbal, very persuasive, an extremely compelling speaker. All these things added together combined to make a powerful influence.
 * Louis Theroux, British-American broadcaster and host of documentary The Most Hated Family in America. As quoted in America's most hated family. BBC News Magazine. March 30, 2007.
 * But the heart of Calvinism is the doctrine of absolute predestination, which posits that in the council halls of eternity past, an omniscient and omnipotent god preordained who would be saved, and who would be damned. Mankind would have no say or choice in this, since they are dead in their trespasses and sin.  If you are selected you gain eternal life.  If you lose, you suffer the most extreme physical and mental anguish forever. My father has simply refined Calvin's doctrine to the point where the vast majority of us are going to hell.  And he and his followers are among the privileged few chosen by God.
 * Nate Phelps, Fred Phelps' estranged son
 * I feel sorry for my father as I would for anyone who displays this kind of hate and evil viciousness. These can only be the manifestations of tortured, injured and agonizing souls.
 * Mark Phelps, Fred Phelps' estranged son. As quoted in A letter from a son who left the Phelps family / church. LiberalsLikeJesus.Org/God&gays.html.

 * McQueen: I'm in this little town called Radiator Springs. You know Route 66? It's still here!

Johan Norberg

Johan Norberg (born 1973) is a Swedish writer devoted to promoting globalisation and individual liberty.

Quotes

 * Now it happens to have been the Social Democrats who have regimented the important institutions in society, but it would have been dangerous whichever party it had been. Development and diversity depend on independent initiatives and competition. When everyone thinks alike not much gets thought.
 * Ett annat Sverige är möjligt (2006), p. 18

In Defense of Global Capitalism

 * Basically, what I believe in is neither capitalism nor globalization... I believe in man's capacity for achieving great things and in the combined force resulting from encounters and exchanges. I plead for greater liberty and a more open world... because it provides a setting which liberates individuals and their creativity as no other system can. It spurs the dynamism which has led to human, economic, scientific, and technical advances, and which will continue to do so. Believing in capitalism does not mean believing in growth, the economy, or efficiency. Desirable as these may be, these are only the results. Belief in capitalism is, fundamentally, belief in mankind.

 * My aim is freedom and voluntary relations in all fields. The market economy is the result of this in the economic realm; in the cultural realm it means freedom of expression; in politics, democracy and the rule of law; in social life, the right to live according to one's own values and to choose one's company.

 * Since 1965 [....] the richest fifth of the world's population increased its average income by 75 percent. For the poorest fifth of the world's population, the increase has been faster still, with average incomes more than doubling during the same period.

 * In the affluent world we have had capitalism in one form or another for a couple of centuries. That is how countries of the West became "the affluent world." Capitalism has given people both the liberty and the incentive to create, produce, and trade, thereby generating preosperity.

 * As a result of this continuous improvement of productivity through the division of labor and technical advancement, one hour's labor today is worth about 25 times more than it was in the mid-19th century [....] Growth and productivity alone are capable of raising real wages in the long run.

Globalisation is Good

 * Is the problem here lack of access to clean water? No. Is it starvation? No. Is it laziness? Definitely not. No, it's poverty due to lack of growth, due to lack of reform. Everything else is just a symptom of that. In fact, even the biggest horrors - famine and war - have political causes. No democracy has ever been afflicted by a famine, and no two democracies have ever made war on each other. Africa has been subjected by socialism, gangster rule and protectionism. Africa has not been too globalized; it has been too marginalized.

Arcelor

Arcelor S.A. was a Luxembourg-based steel producer, the world's largest in terms of turnover and the second largest in terms of steel output, from its creation through the merger of three smaller companies in 2001, until its dissolution by merger into yet another company on 25 June 2006.

Quotes about Arcelor bids
From: "What they said about the Arcelor bid"; Business Times, Malaysia

January 30, 2006: Bitter words

 * “The grammar of business is no be respected.” — French Finance Minister Thierry Breton, expressing “profound concerns” about the unsolicited offer and its lack of advance warning.

 * “I'd like to present to you my fellow managers — my son isn’t one of them.” - Arcelor chief executive Guy Dolle, opening a news conference by mocking the presence of Indian-born Mittal’s son as his company’s finance director.

 * “There are two types of steel: high-end and commoditised. There are those who specialise in a sort of perfume like Arcelor and others like Mittal who produce Eau de Cologne.” — Dolle.

 * “We are not at war here, we are creating value for shareholders.” — Lakshmi Mittal at a news conference.

January 31, 2006: Politicians react

 * “I am determined, as is the Government, to do everything to preserve everything that we have worked for and that we believe in … by using all necessary means to fend off the hostile (bid).” — Luxembourg Prime Minister Jean-Claude Juncker.

February 5, 2006: Economic patriotism

 * “I wish to state strongly that protectionist impulses have no place in modern economic governance.” — Breton in Financial Times, rejecting claims that France’s “economic patriotism” policy is unfair to Indian and other foreign firms.

February 10, 2006:

 * “What do you want out of this economic patriotism? A strong European company, a strong European champion. This is the merger of two European companies: no job cuts, better future, better product, more investment.” — Mittal in European Voice.

February 20, 2006:

 * “The concerns (about the Mittal offer) that have been expressed are entirely legitimate. I don’t understand what the fuss is about.” — French President Jacques Chirac in India.

 April 3, 2006: Bid doctrine

 * “I cannot perceive why there must be hostile takeovers within the EU.” — Jean-Claude Juncker in FT Deutschland.

May 26, 2006: Arcelor engaged

 * “We have been courting for a long time. Now it is time to be engaged to be married.” — Dolle, announcing a tie-up with Russia’s Severstal to thwart Mittal offer.

 * “Arcelor’s shareholders are being forced to hand over control of their company, whilst being denied a premium.” — Mittal spokesman on the Arcelor-Severstal deal.

June 25, 2006: Mittal victory, Severstal jilted

 * “At the end, it was decided unanimously by the Arcelor board (to) recommend the new offer of Mittal Steel. We concluded that Mittal Steel’s was a better offer than that of Severstal.” — Arcelor chairman Joseph Kinsch, after Arcelor accepts sharply higher Mittal bid. — Reuters

 * Political language — and with variations this is true of all political parties, from Conservatives to Anarchists — is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind. ~ George Orwell (born 25 June 1903)

 * 2007
 * I always disagree … when people end up saying that we can only combat Communism, Fascism or what not if we develop an equal fanaticism. It appears to me that one defeats the fanatic precisely by not being a fanatic oneself, but on the contrary by using one's intelligence. In the same way, a man can kill a tiger because he is not like a tiger and uses his brain to invent the rifle, which no tiger could ever do. ~ George Orwell
 * proposed by InvisibleSun

 * 2008
 * By "nationalism" I mean first of all the habit of assuming that human beings can be classified like insects and that whole blocks of millions or tens of millions of people can be confidently labelled "good" or "bad." … By "patriotism" I mean devotion to a particular place and a particular way of life, which one believes to be the best in the world but has no wish to force on other people. Patriotism is of its nature defensive, both militarily and culturally. Nationalism, on the other hand, is inseperable from the desire for power. ~ George Orwell
 * proposed by Kalki

 * 2009
 * If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear. ~ George Orwell

 * We have now sunk to a depth at which the restatement of the obvious is the first duty of intelligent men. … Bully-worship, under various disguises, has become a universal religion, and such truisms as that a machine-gun is still a machine-gun even when a "good" man is squeezing the trigger … have turned into heresies which it is actually becoming dangerous to utter. ~ George Orwell

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Skinnyweed. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Skinnyweed~enwikiquote that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Brett Hatfield
An article that you've created and/or edited, Brett Hatfield, has been nominated for deletion at Votes for deletion (VfD). Based on reviews of similar quote articles, it is suspected that these are not quotes of notable figures with published references, which is what Wikiquote collects, but rather quotes from yourself or your friends or acquaintances. These are what we refer to as "vanity" quotes, much like Wikipedia's "vanity" articles. As is pointed out in FAQ and What Wikiquote is not, which are recommended reading, such quotes are perfectly acceptable on one's user page, but are not a proper subject for quotation in Wikiquote articles.

If so, I invite you to copy the quotes to your user page before the article is deleted. If instead these people have some notoriety in the world at large, and have been quoted in the mainstream media, please provide evidence of this in the VfD entry mentioned above. Thank you for your cooperation. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 14:25, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Ben-Hur (1959 film)

Ben-Hur is a 1959 American film about a Jewish prince who is betrayed and sent into slavery by a Roman friend, but later regains his freedom and returns for revenge. It went on to win eleven Academy Awards, including Best Picture for 1959.
 * Directed by William Wyler. Written by Karl Tunberg, based on the novel by Lew Wallace.''

A Tale of the Christ (taglines)

Judah Ben-Hur

 * You may conquer the land, you may slaughter the people. That is not the end. We will rise again.
 * Rome is an affront to God. Rome is strangling my people and my country and the whole earth, but not forever. I tell you, the day Rome falls, there will be a shout of freedom such as the world has never heard before.
 * [to Messala] May God grant me vengeance. I pray that you live till I return.
 * Find them, Messala. Restore them to me and I'll forget what I vowed with every stroke of that oar you chained me to.

Messala

 * Be wise, Judah. It's a Roman world. If you want to live in it, you must become part of it...I tell you, Judah, it's no accident that one small village on the Tiber was chosen to rule the world...It wasn't just our legions...No, it was fate that chose us to civilize the world - and we have. Our roads and our ships connect every corner of the earth, Roman law, architecture, literature are the glory of the human race.
 * It's an insane world, but in it there's one sanity, the loyalty of old friends. Judah, we must believe in one another.
 * [to Judah] I wanted your help. Now you have given it to me. By making this example of you, I discourage treason. By condemning, without hesitation, an old friend, I shall be feared.

Quintus Arrius

 * [to Judah] You have the spirit to fight back but the good sense to control it. Your eyes are full of hate, Forty-One. That's good. Hate keeps a man alive. It gives him strength.
 * [to Judah] In his eagerness to save you, your God has also saved the Roman fleet.

Sheik Ilderim

 * One wife? One God, that I can understand - but one wife! That is not civilized. It is not generous.
 * [to Judah] The Star of David, will shine out for your people and my people together and blind the eyes of Rome.

Others

 * Simonides: Do not pity me, Master Judah. In fact, I'm twice the man I was. There's Mallet, my other half. We met in the dungeons at the citadel. We were released on the same day, Mallet without a tongue and I without life in my legs. Since then, I have been his tongue and he has been my legs. Together, we make a considerable man.
 * Sextus: There's also a wild man in the desert named John the Baptist and a young carpenter's son who goes around doing magic tricks, miracles they call them...This man is different. He teaches that God is near, in every man. It's actually quite profound, some of it.
 * Esther: I've seen too much what hate can do. My father is burned up with it. But I've heard of a young rabbi who says that forgiveness is greater and love more powerful than hatred. I believe it.

Dialogue

 * Sextus: You can break a man's skull. You can arrest him. You can throw him into a dungeon. But how do you fight an idea?
 * Messala: Sextus, you ask how to fight an idea. Well, I'll tell you how... with another idea!

 * Judah: I would do anything for you, Messala... except betray my own people.
 * Messala: In the name of all the gods, Judah, what do the lives of a few Jews mean to you?
 * Judah: If I cannot persuade them, that does not mean I will help you... murder them. Besides, you must understand this, Messala. I believe in the past of my people, and in their future.
 * Messala: Future? You are a conquered people.
 * Judah: You may conquer the land; you may slaughter the people. But that is not the end; we will rise again.
 * Messala: You live on dead dreams; you live on the myths of the past. The glory of Solomon is gone and you think it will return?. Joshua will not rise again to save you nor David. There is only one reality in the world today. Look to the West, Judah! Don't be a fool, look to Rome!
 * Judah: I would rather be a fool than a traitor... or a killer!
 * Messala: I am a soldier!
 * Judah: Yes! Who kills! For Rome! And Rome is evil!
 * Messala: I warn you...
 * Judah: No! I warn you! Rome is an affront to God! Rome is strangling my people and my country, the whole Earth! But not forever. And I tell you the day Rome falls there will be a shout of freedom such as the world has never heard before!
 * Messala: Judah, either you help me or you oppose me, you have no other choice. You're either for me or against me!
 * Judah: If that is the choice, then I am against you.

 * Judah: If you were not a bride I would kiss you goodbye
 * Esther: If I were not a bride there would be no goodbyes to be said.

 * Arrius: What service have you seen? Forty-One?
 * Judah: A month's less a day in this ship.
 * Arrius: You keep an exact account. And before?
 * Judah: Three years in other ships.
 * Arrius: Three years [hits Judah with a whip] You have the spirit to fight back... but the good sense to control it. Your eyes are full of hate, Forty-One. That's good. Hate keeps a man alive. It gives him strength. Now, listen to me, all of you. You are all condemned men. We keep you alive to serve this ship. So row well... and live.

 * Arrius: What is your name, Forty-One?
 * Judah: [pause] Judah Ben-Hur.
 * Arrius: Judah Ben-Hur... Let me die.
 * Judah: [repeating Arrius' words on board the galleys] We keep you alive to serve this ship. Row well and live.

 * Arrius: Not long ago, I returned to Rome... with a young man who had saved my life. You all know him as the finest charioteer in Rome. Five times, he's driven my horses to victory. I know him as one who stands in the place of the son I lost. I have the love and pride in a son's achievements... which I thought I should never have again. [calls Judah to appear before the crowd] Nothing could make stronger our bond... but tonight I wish to share it with you all. The formalities of adoption have been completed. Young Arrius is now the legal bearer of my name... and the heir to my property. This ring of my ancestors... would have gone to my son. So now it is yours.
 * [Judah puts the ring on his finger and the crowd cheers]
 * Judah: It's a strange destiny that brought me to a new life... a new home... a new father. It brought me here. It may take me away. But wherever I may be... I shall always try to wear this ring as a son of Arrius should. With gratitude and affection... and with honor.
 * [The crowd cheers again]

 * Arrius: You're leaving.
 * Judah: I must.
 * Arrius: It's a journey I can't keep you from. Your eyes have never left it all these months. I can recognize pain. But still, my counsel is to wait. Gratus is to be replaced. The governorship goes to Pontius Pilate.
 * Judah: When?
 * Arrius: Very soon. It's very much to our purpose.
 * Judah: Nothing is to the purpose if, when I come back to Judea, I come too late. That is the thought which has punished me every moment I've spent here.
 * Arrius: Will Rome see you again?
 * Judah: Here is a part of my life which you have made for me. I shall remember it.
 * Arrius: Whoever the gods are, they take small interest in an old man's hopes.
 * Judah: They have their way.

 * Sheik Ilderim: Judah Ben-Hur, my people are praying for a man who can drive their team to victory over Messala. You could be that man! You could be the one to stamp this Roman's arrogance into the sand of that arena. You've seen my horses. They need only a driver who is worthy of them. One who would rule them with love and not the whip. For such a man, they would have raced the wind.
 * Judah: I must deal with Messala in my own way.
 * Balthasar: And your way is to kill him. I see this terrible thing in your eyes, Judah Ben-Hur. But no matter what this man has done to you, you have no right to take his life. He will be punished inevitably.
 * Judah: I don't believe in miracles.
 * Balthasar: Your whole life is a miracle. Why will you not accept God's judgment? You do not believe in miracles, yet God once spoke to me out of the darkness, and a star led me to a village called Bethlehem where I found a newborn child in a manger. And God lived in this child. By now, he is a grown man, and must be ready to begin his work. And that is why I have returned here, so that I may be at hand when he comes among us. He is near. He saw the sun set this evening as we did. Perhaps he's standing in a doorway somewhere on a hilltop. Perhaps he is a shepherd watching, a fisherman. But he lives in all our lives. From now on we'll carry his mark. There are many paths to God, my son. I hope yours will not be too difficult.

 * Messala: Triumph complete, Judah. The race won. The enemy destroyed.
 * Judah: I see no enemy.
 * Messala: What do you think you see? The smashed body of a wretched animal! Is enough of a man still left here for you to hate? Let me help you... [convulses with pain] You think they're dead. Your mother and sister. Dead. And the race over. It isn't over, Judah. They're not dead.
 * Judah: Where are they? Where are they? WHERE ARE THEY?!
 * Messala: [last words] Look for them in the Valley of the Lepers, if you can recognize them. [Judah doubles over with grief] It goes on. It goes on, Judah. The race... the race is not over! [dies]

 * Judah: I have just come from the Valley of Stone. My mother and sister live what's left of their lives. By Rome's will, lepers, outcasts without hope...Their flesh...carries Rome's mark...the deed was not Messala's. I knew him, well, before the cruelty of Rome spread in his blood. Rome destroyed Messala as surely as Rome has destroyed my family.
 * Pontius Pilate: Where there is greatness, great government or power, even great feeling or compassion, error also is great. We've progressed and matured by fault. But Rome has said she is ready to join your life to hers in a great future...not to crucify yourself on a shadow such as old resentment or impossible loyalties. Perfect freedom has no existence. The grown man knows the world he lives in, and for the present, the world is Rome.
 * Judah: I am Judah Ben-Hur.
 * Pontius Pilate: I become the hand of Caesar, ready to crush all those who challenge his authority. There are too many small men of envy and ambition who try to disrupt the government of Rome. You have become the victor and hero for these people. They look to you, their one true god as I called you. If you stay here, you will find yourself part of this tragedy.
 * Judah: I'm already part of this tragedy.

 * Esther: [hugs Judah] Oh, Judah. I was afraid you would never come back... afraid of what would happen to you. But I see you again.
 * Judah: Your father's waiting for me. Where is he?
 * Esther: What do you mean to do? [Judah does not answer] Oh, Judah. Rest, sleep. For a few hours of the night let your mind be at peace.
 * Judah: Peace? Love and peace. Do you think I don't long for them as much as you do? Where do you see them?
 * Esther: If you had heard this man from Nazareth.
 * Judah: Balthasar's word.
 * Esther: He is more than Balthasar's word. His voiced traveled with such a still purpose. It was more than a voice. A man more than a man. He said, 'Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God.'
 * Judah: Children of God? In that dead valley where we left them? I tell you, every man in Judea is unclean and will stay unclean until we've scoured off our bodies the crust and filth of being at the mercy of tyranny. No other life is possible except to wash this land clean.
 * Esther: In blood?
 * Judah: Yes, in blood!
 * Esther: I know there is a law in life. That blood begets more blood as dog begets dog. Death generates death as the vulture breeds the vulture. But the voice I heard today on the hill said, 'Love your enemy. Do good to those who spitefully use you.'
 * Judah: All who are born in this land hereafter can suffer as we have done.
 * Esther: As you make us do now! Are we to bear nothing together, even love?
 * Judah: I could hardly draw a breath without feeling you in my heart. But I know... that everything I do from this moment... bears greater pain than you have ever suffered. It is better not to love me.
 * Esther: It was Judah Ben-Hur I loved. What has become of him? You seem to be now the very thing you set out to destroy, giving evil for evil. Hatred is turning you to stone. It's as though you had become Messala! [Judah looks at her, shocked] I've lost you, Judah.

 * Judah: This is where your search has brought you, Balthasar. He gave me water... and a heart to live. What has He done to merit this?
 * Balthasar: He has taken the world of our sins onto Himself. To this end He said He was born, in that stable, where I first saw Him. For this cause, He came into the world.
 * Judah: For this death?
 * Balthasar: For this beginning.

 * Miriam: [about Jesus] As though He were carrying in that cross the pain of the world.
 * Tirzah: So fearful, and yet why is it I'm not afraid anymore?
 * [Thunder sounds]
 * Esther: The shadow of a storm. [The sky goes dark while she, Miriam and Tirzah enter the cave] A strange darkness... but still day.
 * [Thunder sounds louder]
 * Miriam: His life is over.

 * [Last lines]
 * Judah: Almost at the moment He died, I heard Him say, "Father, forgive them for they know not what they do."
 * Esther: Even then.
 * Judah: Even then. And I felt His voice take the sword out of my hand.

Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Jolande. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Jolande~enwikiquote that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
