Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery

Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery is a 1997 film about a 1960s hipster secret agent who is brought out of cryofreeze to oppose his greatest enemy in the 1990s where his social attitudes are glaringly out of place.
 * Directed by Jay Roach. Written by Mike Myers.

Austin Powers

 * My God, Vanessa's got a fabulous body. I bet she shags like a minx. How do I tell her that, because of the unfreezing process, I have no inner-monologue? [beat] I hope I didn't say that out loud just now.
 * Oh, behave!
 * Groovy, baby!
 * Let me ask you a question, and be honest. (activates a spinning bed) Do I make you horny? Randy? Do I make you horny, baby? Yeah!
 * Yeah, baby, yeah!
 * Shall we shag now, or shall we shag later?
 * Jimi Hendrix: Deceased, drugs. Janis Joplin: Deceased, alcohol. Mama Cass: Deceased, ham sandwich.
 * [after punching what seems to be a waitress] [Mrs. Kensington: Austin, why on Earth did you hit that woman?] Right. Let me show you, baby. That ain't no woman. It's a man, man. [pulls off wig, revealing a man in drag; crowd gasps in shock] He's one of Dr. Evil's assassins.
 * [at the Electric Psychedelic Pussycat Swingers' Club] It's my happening, baby, and it freaks me out!
 * [after getting hit in the head by Random Task's shoe] That really hurt! I'm gonna have a lump there, you idiot. Who throws his shoe? Honestly. You fight like a woman.
 * It's freedom, baby, yeah!
 * [Vanessa catches Austin in his underwear] Vanessa, I can explain. See, what happened was, I broke in trying to get to Dr. Evil, and then, all of a sudden, the Fembots came by, and smoke started to come out of their jubblies. So I thought I'd work my mojo, right? To counter their mojo. We got cross-mojo-nations, and their heads started exploding. You know, that thing. And I ended up in my knickers here, and-- [exhales]
 * Pardon me for being rude.
 * It was not me. It was my food.
 * It just popped up to say hello,
 * and now it's gone back down below.

 * [Austin tries to resist the Fembots] Baseball, cold showers, baseball, cold showers. [Fembot: [stands over Austin] Give it up, Mr. Powers. [opens her legs]] Margaret Thatcher naked on a cold day! Margaret Thatcher naked on a cold day!

Dr. Evil

 * Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to my underground lair. I have gathered here before me the world's deadliest assassins. And yet, each of you has failed to kill Austin Powers. That makes me angry. And when Dr. Evil gets angry, Mr. Bigglesworth gets upset. And when Mr. Bigglesworth gets upset, people DIE!! [ejecting most of the henchmen, minus Number 2, Frau Farbassina, and Mustafa] Why must I be surrounded by frickin' idiots?!
 * Throw me a frickin' bone here!
 * My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low-grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a 15-year-old French prostitute named Chloe, with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. My childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring, we'd make meat helmets. When I was insolent, I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds. Pretty standard really. At the age of 12, I received my first scribe. At the age of 14, a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum. It's breathtaking. I suggest you try it.
 * There's nothing more pathetic than an aging hipster.
 * Gentlemen, it's come to my attention that a breakaway Russian republic, Kreplachistan, is about to transfer a nuclear warhead to the United Nations in a few days. Here's the plan. We get the warhead, and we hold the world ransom for... $1,000,000.
 * [to Scott, who is cornered by Austin] I had the group liquidated, you little shit. They were insolent.
 * [last lines; in his frozen chamber at the end of the film] I'm gonna get you, Austin Powers! It's frickin' freezing in here, Mr. Bigglesworth.

Dialogue

 * P.A.: Stage 5: Evacuation beginning. [Austin urinates in the toilet for a long period of time; all the while, Basil looks at his watch, until Austin has stopped] Evacuation com- [Austin continues urination; stops again] Evacuation com- [trickle] Com- [trickle] Com- [trickle; slight pause] Evacuation com- [Austin continues urination]

 * Clerk: [returns Austin's personal effects after the reanimation process] One Swedish-made penis enlarger pump.
 * Austin: That's not mine.
 * Clerk: One credit card receipt for Swedish-made penis enlarger, signed by Austin Powers.
 * Austin: I'm telling ya, baby, that's not mine!
 * Clerk: One warranty card for Swedish-made penis enlarger pump, filled out by Austin Powers.
 * Austin: I don't even know what this is! This sort of thing ain't my bag, baby!
 * Clerk: One book: "Swedish-Made Penis Enlarger Pumps and Me: (This Sort of Thing Is My Bag, Baby)", by Austin Powers.
 * Austin: Ah.
 * Clerk: Just sign the form.
 * Austin: Okay, thank you, handy man. I'll sign here, just to get things moving. [laughs] You know.

 * Dr. Evil: [his face is still not shown] Gentlemen, welcome to my underground lair. Its been 30 years, but I'm back. Everything's gone perfectly to plan except one small flaw. Due to a technical error by my henchman Mustafa, complications arose in the unfreezing process.
 * Mustafa: But my design was perfect.
 * Dr. Evil: Look what you did to Mr. Bigglesworth! [reveals that Mr. Bigglesworth is now hairless]
 * Mustafa: But, Dr. Evil, we were unable to anticipate feline complications due to the reanimation process.
 * Dr. Evil: Silence! [pushes a button; Mustafa's chair tilts back dropping him into the pit of fire; his face is finally shown] Let this be a reminder to you all that this organization will not tolerate failure. [Mustafa can be heard moaning from an air vent] Gentlemen, lets get down to business. [Mustafa's moans continue] We've got a lot of work to do.
 * Mustafa: [offscreen] Someone help me! I'm still alive, only I'm very badly burned.
 * Dr. Evil: Some of you I know, some of you I'm meeting for the first time.
 * Mustafa: [offscreen] Hello, up there! Anyone?! Can someone call an ambulance? I'm in quite a lot of pain.
 * Dr. Evil: Okay, you've all been gathered here to form my evil cabinet- [Mustafa starts again] Excuse me. [picks up his phone and talks to a henchmen on the other line] Yes, he's down there.
 * Henchman: [on the phone, almost inaudible] Is he dead yet?
 * Dr. Evil: No. Not dead. Burnt, badly.
 * Henchman: [on the phone] Would you like me to take care of him, possibly with a gun?
 * Dr. Evil: Yes.
 * Henchman: [on the phone] Kill him?
 * Dr. Evil: Right. [hangs up]
 * Mustafa: [offscreen] If somebody can open the retrieval hatch, down here I can get out. See, I designed this device myself- [a hatch is heard opening] Oh, hi. Good. I'm glad you found me. Listen. I'm very badly burned, so if you could just- [a gunshot fires] You shot me!
 * Dr. Evil: Okay, moving on.
 * Mustafa: [offscreen; last words] You shot me right in the arm! Why did- [another gunshot fires; all is silent for a moment, then the hatch is heard closing]
 * Dr. Evil: [after a slight pause] Right.

 * Dr. Evil: Patty O'Brien, ex-Irish assassin. His trademark: A superstitious man, he leaves a tiny keepsake from his good-luck bracelet on every victim he kills. Scotland Yard would love to get their hands on that piece of evidence.
 * O'Brien: [Irish accent] Yeah. They're always after me lucky charms. [Dr. Evil and Frau snicker and chortle respectively] What? Why does everyone always laugh when I say that? They are after me lucky charms! What?
 * Frau: [German accent] It's a television commercial. With this cartoon leprechaun, and all of these children are trying to chase him, "Hey, leprechaun man! Leprechaun man! We want to get your Lucky Charms!" Oh. And there are these little, tiny pieces of marshmallow just stuck right in the cereal. So, that when the kids eat them, they think, "Oooh, this is candy, I'm having fun!".

 * Vanessa: Ow!! [turns of the music and rotating bed] Mr. Powers! I will never have sex with you, ever. If you were the last man on earth and I was the last woman on earth, and the future of the human race depends on our having sex, simply for procreation, I still would not have sex with you.
 * Austin: [happily confused] What's your point, Vanessa?

 * Frau: Remember when we froze your semen? You said that if it didn't look like you were coming back, we should try to create an heir so a part of you would live forever.
 * Dr. Evil: Oh, sure.
 * Frau: Well, after a couple of years, we...got a little impatient. Dr. Evil, I vant you to meet your son.
 * Dr. Evil: [shocked] My son?
 * Frau: Ja. [shouts] SCOTT!!!
 * [Scott enters, wearing his regular 90's clothes and hairstyle]
 * Dr. Evil: Hello, Scott.
 * Scott: [confused] Hi.
 * Dr. Evil: I'm your father. Dr. Evil.
 * Scott: I haven't seen you my whole life, and now you come back and just expect a relationship? [scoffs] I hate you. [Dr. Evil approaches Scott] What?
 * Dr. Evil: Can I have a hug?
 * Scott: No.
 * Dr. Evil: Give me a hug.
 * Scott: No way.
 * Dr. Evil: Come here.
 * Scott: I'm not comin' over there.
 * Dr. Evil: Let's go.
 * Scott: Forget it.
 * Dr. Evil: Pronto.
 * Scott: What are you doing?
 * Dr. Evil: I'm with it. I'm hip. [vocalizes weirdly while he dances the Macarena] Haaa! Well, don't look at me like I'm frickin' Frankenstein. Give your father a hug.
 * Scott: Don't touch me!
 * Dr. Evil: Hug, hug, hug!
 * Scott: Get away from me, you lazy-eyed psycho!

 * Casino Dealer: 17.
 * Number Two: [inconspicuously scans the next card with his X-ray eye patch] Hit me.
 * Dealer: You have 17, sir.
 * Number Two: I like to live dangerously.
 * Dealer: [reveals the next card] 4. 21. [turns to Austin after dealing him his next card] 5.
 * Austin: [waves his hands over his cards] I'll stay.
 * Dealer: I suggest you hit, sir.
 * Austin: I also like to live dangerously.
 * Dealer: As you wish, sir. [flips his cards over] 20 beats your 5. I'm sorry, sir.
 * Austin: Well, I won't lie to you. Cards are not my bag, baby.

 * Dr. Evil: Gentlemen, I have a plan. It's called blackmail. The Royal Family of Britain are the wealthiest landowners in the world. Either the Royal Family pays us an exorbitant amount of money, or we make it seen that Prince Charles has had an affair outside of marriage and therefore would have to divorce!
 * Number Two: Prince Charles did have an affair. He admitted it, and they are now divorced.
 * Dr. Evil: Right, people you have to tell me these things, okay? I've been frozen for thirty years, okay? Throw me a frickin' bone here! I'm the boss! Need the info. [pause] Okay no problem. Here's my second plan. Back in the 60's, I had a weather changing machine that was, in essence, a sophisticated heat beam which we called a "laser." Using these "lasers," we punch a hole in the protective layer around the Earth, which we scientists call the "Ozone Layer." Slowly but surely, ultraviolet rays would pour in, increasing the risk of skin cancer. That is unless...the world pays us...a hefty ransom?
 * Number Two: [clears throat] That, also, already has happened.
 * Dr. Evil: Shit. Oh, hell, let's just do what we always do. Hijack some nuclear weapons and hold the world hostage. Yeah? Good! Gentlemen, it has come to my attention that a breakaway Russian Republic called Kreplachistan will be transferring a nuclear warhead to the United Nations in a few days. Here's the plan: We get the warhead, and we hold the world ransom for... [dramatic pause] $1,000,000!
 * Number Two: [clears throat] Well, don't you think we should ask for more than a million dollars? A million dollars isn't exactly a lot of money these days. Virtucon alone makes over $9 billion a year.
 * Dr. Evil: Really?
 * Number Two: Mmm-hmm.
 * Dr. Evil: That's a lot more. [pause] Okay, then. We hold the world ransom for...$100...billion!

 * Austin: That's Dr. Evil's cat!
 * Vanessa: How can you tell?
 * Austin: I never forget a pussy...cat.

 * Vanessa: [giggling] Always wanting to have fun, Austin. That's you in a nutshell.
 * Austin: No, this is me in a nutshell. [acts as if he were in a nutshell] "Help! I'm in a nutshell! How did I get into this nutshell? Look at the size of this bloody great big nutshell. What sort of shell has a nut like this? This is crazy."
 * [Vanessa cracks up laughing]

 * Fagina: How dare you break wind before me?
 * Austin: I'm sorry, baby. I didn't realize it was your turn.

 * Scott: I just think, like, he hates me. I really think he wants to kill me.
 * Therapist: Now, Scott, we don't want to kill each other in here. We might say that we do sometimes, but we really don't.
 * Dr. Evil: Actually, the boy's quite astute. I really am trying to kill him, but so far unsuccessfully. He's quite wily, like his old man.
 * Scott: This is what I'm talkin' about.

 * Scott: I was thinking I like animals. Maybe I'd be a vet.
 * Dr. Evil: An evil vet?
 * Scott: No. Maybe like work in a petting zoo.
 * Dr. Evil: An evil petting zoo?
 * Scott: You always do that!

 * Vanessa: Austin, can I have a word with you?
 * Austin: Of course you may, love.
 * Vanessa: Look, I know I'm being neurotic, but I can't shake off this suspicious feeling about that Italian secretary. You know, Miss Fagina? I don't wanna sound paranoid, but I've had some bad relationships in the past, and I have been known to be jealous. I'm sorry.
 * Austin: No, don't be sorry, baby. You were right to be suspicious. I shagged her.
 * Vanessa: [shocked] What?
 * Austin: I shagged her rotten, baby! Yeah!
 * Vanessa: I don't believe you, Austin! She was repellent!
 * Austin: Saucer of milk, table 2. [meows like a cat]
 * Vanessa: Did you use protection?
 * Austin: 'Course. I had my 9-millimeter automatic.
 * Vanessa: You know I meant, did you use a condom?
 * Austin: [laughs] No! Only sailors use condoms, baby.
 * Vanessa: Not in the 90s, Austin!
 * Austin: Well, they should, those filthy beggars. They go from port to port. [Vanessa huffily heads to bed] Vanessa, don't have a thrombo! Alotta meant nothing to me.
 * Vanessa: Well, it means something to me. Austin, if you want us to have a relationship, you have to get it into your head that times have changed! You can't just go off shagging anybody anymore, and if you could, I wouldn't, because I'm not like that!
 * Austin: [feeling rejected] Vanessa, you're everything to me.
 * Vanessa: You just don't get it, do you? Good night, Austin. Welcome to the 90s. You're gonna be very lonely. [closes the doors]

 * Vanessa: Morning, Austin. You know, I sometimes forget you've missed out on the last 30 years. The fall of the Berlin Wall, first female British Prime Minister, end of apartheid.
 * Austin: Yeah, and I can't believe Liberace was gay. I mean, women loved him, man. I didn't see that one coming. No.

 * Dr. Evil: Mr. Powers, you'll notice that all the sharks have laser beams attached to their heads. I figure every creature deserves a warm meal.
 * Number Two: Dr. Evil, it's about the sharks. When you were frozen, they were put on the endangered species list. We tried to get some, but it would've taken months to clear up the red tape.
 * Dr. Evil: You know, I have one simple request. And that is to have sharks with frickin' laser beams attached to their heads! Now evidently, my cycloptic colleague informs me that that can't be done. Can you remind me what I pay you people for? Honestly, throw me a bone here. What do we have?
 * Number Two: Sea bass.
 * Dr. Evil: Right.
 * Number Two: They are mutated sea bass.
 * Dr. Evil: Really? Are they ill-tempered?
 * Number Two: Absolutely.
 * Dr. Evil: That's a start.

 * Dr. Evil: Scott, I want you to meet daddy's nemesis, Austin Powers.
 * Scott: What, are you feedin' him? Why don't you just kill him?
 * Dr. Evil: No, Scott, I have a better idea. I'm going to place him in an easily escapable situation involving an overly elaborate and exotic death.
 * Scott: Why don't you shoot him now? I mean, come on, I'll go get a gun. We'll shoot 'im together. It'll be fun. Bang! Dead. Done.
 * Dr. Evil: [angrily] One more peep out of you and you are grounded, mister, and I am not joking!

 * Dr. Evil: Begin the unnecessarily slow-moving dipping mechanism. [the guard starts dipping mechanism] Close the tank!
 * Scott: Wait, aren't you even gonna watch them? They could get away.
 * Dr. Evil: No-no-no, I'm going to leave them alone and not actually witness them dying, I'm just gonna assume it all went to plan. What?
 * Scott: I have a gun in my room. You give me 5 seconds, I'll get it. I'll come back down here, BOOM! I'll blow their brains out!
 * Dr. Evil: Scott, you just don't get it, do ya? You don't.
 * Scott: It's no hassle-
 * Dr. Evil: Shh!
 * Scott: But-
 * Dr. Evil: Shh!
 * Scott: I'm-
 * Dr. Evil: Shh!
 * Scott: All I'm say-
 * Dr. Evil: Shh!
 * Scott: They're gonna get a-
 * Dr. Evil: Shh!
 * Scott: I'm-
 * Dr. Evil: Shh!
 * Scott: I'm just-
 * Dr. Evil: Shh!
 * Scott: Would-
 * Dr. Evil: Knock-knock.
 * Scott: Who's there?
 * Dr. Evil: Shh!
 * Scott: But-
 * Dr. Evil: Let me tell you a little story about a man named Shh! Shh! Even before you start, that was a pre-emptive "Shh!" Just know that I have a whole bag of "Shh!" with your name on it.

 * [Austin and Vanessa see a man decapitated by the sea bass]
 * Austin: Not a good time to lose one's "head".
 * Vanessa: Indeed.
 * Austin: That's not the way to get "ahead" in life.
 * Vanessa: No.
 * Austin: It's a shame he wasn't more "headstrong".
 * Vanessa: Hmm.
 * Austin: He'll never be the "head" of a major corporation.
 * Vanessa: Okay, that'll do.
 * Austin: Okay.

 * Fembots: [one by one] You can't resist us, Mr. Powers.
 * Austin: Au contraire, baby. I think that you can't resist me.

 * Austin: [holds Scott hostage] It seems the tables have turned again, Dr. Evil.
 * Dr. Evil: Not really. Kill the little bastard. See what I care.
 * Scott: But, Dad, we just had a breakthrough in group!
 * Dr. Evil: [thinking he had successfully killed the world] I had the group liquidated, you little shit! They were insolent!
 * Scott: [pushing away from Austin's grip] I hate you! I hate you! I wish I was never artificially created in a lab! [runs off]
 * Dr. Evil: Oh, Scott, that hurts daddy when you say that. Honestly. [Number Two arrives with two briefcases and a gun] Ahh. Number Two, your timing is impeccable. Go ahead. Take Mr. Powers away.
 * Number Two: [points his gun at Dr. Evil] No.
 * Dr. Evil: What?
 * Number Two: Dr. Evil, I spent 30 years of my life turning this two-bit evil empire into a world class multi-national. I was going to have a cover story with Forbes. [Dr. Evil puts his hands up] But you, like an idiot, want to take over the world. And you don't realize there is no world anymore. It's only corporations.
 * Dr. Evil: [puts his hands down] Silence, Number Two!
 * Number Two: No! [whimpers] I've had enough of you pushing me around! [to Austin] Mr. Powers, I have a business proposition you might find very interesting. [sits down on a chair while Austin walks forward to the table in front of him]
 * Dr. Evil: All right, I've had enough. [pushes the button that causes Number Two's chair to tilt back and drop him into the pit of fire]

Taglines

 * If he were any cooler, he'd still be frozen, baby!
 * Frozen in the 60's... thawing spring '97, baby!

Bradley Joseph

Bradley Joseph (born 1965) is an American composer, arranger, and producer of contemporary instrumental music. His compositions include works for orchestra, quartet, and solo piano, while his musical style ranges from "quietly pensive mood music to a rich orchestration of classical depth and breadth". He has performed around the world with artists such as Yanni and Sheena Easton.

Quotes

 * The piano is always true to me. In times of despair, happiness, and joy, its mood is always my own.
 * Album liner - Grand Piano (Narada Anniversary Collection)

 * I am a composer first and foremost, and have always believed that being able to write memorable melodies is what sets musicians apart.
 * My songs bring images to the listener's mind. The object is to transport my listeners to another place, some place sacred and spiritual that will make them glad they took the ride.
 * Official Bio and Reflections Bio

 * Basically, I write from a two person standpoint. First, I let the song take hold and I put down the idea as a raw emotional statement. Then I let it breathe and come back, approaching from more of an objective point of view. This allows me to rediscover the true meaning I intended in the beginning, shedding new light on how I can best represent that to the listener.
 * Indie Journal Interview

 * Musically I try to connect a common bridge between such exhilarating feelings as performing at the Acropolis, to the emotions each and every one of us feel everyday. In the end, a good melody will always stand the test of time.
 * Indie Journal Interview

 * Music allows a person to express their deepest thoughts, thoughts that cannot be expressed with just words. I am often asked how I begin a song or develop a melody from nothing. That is the spiritual aspect of creating. Finding something deep within yourself that can only be created by you.
 * Interview with Bradley Joseph, The Spiritual Significance Of Music, World Edition (from extrememusic.org)

 * Through instrumental music, I’m allowed to come up with musical ideas that allow the listener to create their own impression of my song. If you add lyrics about a girl in the song, the listener doesn’t have a choice of what the song is about, it’s told to them. My musical writings allow me to express anything. It’s easier for me to tell a story of something I’ve encountered this way then to verbalize it.  And my feelings are explored more in my compositions compared to what I could ever say in a few sentences.

 * All the information you need is available to you to have a successful career in music, if you're paying attention, and not closed off to anything. Remember, Perseverance is King.''
 * Indie Journal Interview

 * A lot of musicians don’t learn the business. You just have to be well-rounded in both areas. You have to understand publishing. You have to understand how you make money, what’s in demand, what helps you make the most out of your talent.
 * Showcase article:

 * Time and persistence has shown me that I can succeed at sharing my art with others as a musician while running my own music business. And that kind of success is as good as I could have ever wished for.

Talk:Tacitus

I thought it was "Atque ubi COLITUDINUM faciunt pacem appllant.".... JIM JACOBS

I have seen colitudinum occasionally on the Internet, but Lewis and Short's Latin Dictionary and the Loeb Classical Tacitus vol. 1 both spell the word solitudinem and I think this should be accepted as correct.

 * Abuse, if you slight it, will gradually die away; but if you show yourself irritated you will be thought to have deserved it.

 * Liberty is given by nature even to mute animals.

 * Truth is confirmed by inspection and delay; falsehood by haste and uncertainty. (As quoted by Garry Kasparov on his Twitter)

The pages on wikiquote are set up to provide for quotes of, and about, individuals and their works.

Talk:Matt Taibbi

Copyright concern
I flagged this article for copyright review because it doesn't merely include a fair-use portion of its two currently quote articles, it includes a major portion of them. (The "excerpt" from ""David Brooks and the DLC: Best Friends Forever?" is most of the article, in fact.) I'm not sure what portion of the second would be a good selection, or if perhaps a few individual lines might be better, but I'd suggest trimming the first down to: or possibly even a more concise statement. The key is to boil down these long tracts into the most pithy expression of the idea. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 06:52, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Bush is our fault. He's our fault because too many of us found it easier to hate him than find a way to love each other. If we work on the second thing a little harder, we won't need to rely on the cynics in the DLC to come up with the right "formula" the next time around. Because happiness and hope have a way of selling themselves.

Harold Macmillan

Maurice Harold Macmillan, 1st Earl of Stockton OM PC (10 February 1894 – 29 December 1986) was a British Conservative politician and publisher who served six years as Prime Minister (1957–1963). As Prime Minister, he worked to decolonize the British Empire in Africa and repair United Kingdom–United States relations after the Suez Crisis. He also led the Conservative Party to accept the post-war consensus of Keynesian economics and the welfare state. However, he was forced to resign by the Profumo affair and France's veto of British entry into the European Economic Community.

First World War

 * Perhaps the most extraordinary thing about a modern battlefield is the desolation and emptiness of it all... One cannot emphasise this point too much. Nothing is to be seen of war or soldiers—only the split and shattered trees and the burst of an occasional shell reveal anything of the truth. One can look for miles and see no human being. But in those miles of country lurk (like moles or rats, it seems) thousands, even hundreds of thousands of men, planning against each other perpetually some new device of death. Never showing themselves, they launch at each other bullet, bomb, aerial torpedo, and shell. And somewhere too (on the German side we know of their existence opposite us) are the little cylinders of gas, waiting only for the moment to spit forth their nauseous and destroying fumes. And yet the landscape shows nothing of all this—nothing but a few shattered trees and 3 or 4 lines of earth and sandbags; these and the ruins of towns and villages are the only signs of war anywhere visible. The glamour of red coats—the martial tunes of flag and drum—aide-de-camps scurrying hither and thither on splendid chargers—lances glittering and swords flashing—how different the old wars must have been.
 * Letter to his mother (13 May 1916), quoted in Harold Macmillan, Winds of Change, 1914–1939 (1966), pp. 82-83

 * We need not so much the gallantry of our fathers; we need (and in our army at any rate I think you will find it) that indomitable and patient determination which has saved England over and over again. If any one at home thinks or talks of peace, you can truthfully say that the army is weary enough of war but prepared to fight for another 50 years if necessary, until the final object is attained.
 * Letter to his mother (13 May 1916), quoted in Harold Macmillan, Winds of Change, 1914–1939 (1966), p. 83

Early political career

 * The only answer to Socialism was to build up by every means a property-owning democracy. Socialism promised to build up a great pauper State by its schemes for State relief, nationalization and doles, while the Conservative Party promised to build up a great property-owning, thrifty, and industrious State.
 * Speech ('The Future of Conservatism') to the 1912 Club (16 February 1926), quoted in The Times (18 February 1926), p. 9

 * In the course of some ninety years, the wheel has certainly turned full circle. The Protectionist case, which seemed to most of our fathers and grandfathers so outrageous, even so wicked, has been re-stated and carried to victory. Free Trade, which was almost like a sacred dogma, is in its turn rejected and despised... [M]any acute and energetic minds in the ’forties “looked to the end.” They foresaw what seemed beyond the vision of their rivals—that after the period of expansion would come the period of over-production... [ Disraeli ] perceived only too clearly the danger of sacrificing everything to speed. Had he lived now, he would not have been surprised. The development of the world on competitive rather than on complementary lines; the growth of economic nationalism; the problems involved in the increasing productivity of labour, both industrial and agricultural; the absence of any new and rapidly developing area offering sufficient attractive opportunities for investment; finally, the heavy ensuing burden of unemployment, in every part of the world—all these phenomena, so constantly in our minds as part of the conditions of crisis, would have seemed to the men of Manchester nothing but a hideous nightmare. Disraeli would have understood them. I think he would have expected them.
 * ‘Preface’ to Derek Walker-Smith, The Protectionist Case in the 1840s (1933), pp. vii-viii

 * Although I am still in favour of a National Government in these difficult times, and shall probably be found in the great majority of cases in the Government Lobby, there are some issues that have arisen, or are likely to arise, upon which I am unable to give the Government the support which it has, perhaps, the right to expect from those receiving the Government Whip. It occurs to me, therefore, that it would perhaps be more satisfactory if I was no longer regarded as being among the supporters of the present Administration.
 * Letter resigning the Government whip (29 June 1936), quoted in "Mr H. Macmillan M.P.", The Times (8 July 1936), p. 8

 * It is not enough to deplore and condemn the political excesses and the economic inadequacies of the totalitarian states. We must prove that democracy can do better.
 * The Middle Way (1938), quoted in SuperMac: The Life of Harold Macmillan p. 119

 * America is “the new Roman empire and we Britons, like the Greeks of old, must teach them how to make it go.”
 * America's lost ally, During the Second World War

 * By the achievement of this period of our rule in India, the British stand justified. Much will be left in the material sense—railways, dams, irrigation schemes, health services and the like—but perhaps the greatest contribution which the British genius has made has been the sense of equal justice, incorruptible and unchangeable, carried out equally for Hindu and for Muslim, for the poor as for the rich, the humble as for the exalted. This has set a standard of equity unrivalled in the history of the world.
 * Speech in the House of Commons (10 July 1947)

Chancellor of the Exchequer

 * I cannot forget the twenty-five years when I sat for a Tees-side constituency. I cannot forget those terrible times when some 17,000 out of 25,000 able-bodied men in my constituency walked the streets looking for jobs.
 * Speech in the House of Commons (20 February 1956)

 * Forever poised between a cliché and an indiscretion.
 * Macmillan's description of the role of the Foreign Secretary, a job he held in 1955, quoted in Newsweek (30 April 1956)

 * [Macmillan] said that another round of wage increases such as there had been in the past two years could be disastrous... Such increases would not bring any benefit to anyone. They would only benefit men in a particular industry if they were the only ones to get them. But they would not be. If one industry started, others would follow. No one would gain anything, except more and more paper money, which would buy less and less.
 * Speech in Newcastle (25 May 1956), quoted in The Times (26 May 1956), p. 6

 * We must export to get necessities. We could not produce more than perhaps half our food. We had no raw materials, except coal and iron. Now we were importing both. We were even bringing coals to Newcastle, at least figuratively. All these imports must be paid for by exports... At first our main competitors—Germany and Japan—were out of the race. Now they were coming along very fast. We must not relax; on the contrary, we must make even greater efforts.
 * Speech in Newcastle (25 May 1956), quoted in The Times (26 May 1956), p. 6

Prime Minister

 * The masses now took prosperity for granted... The country simply did not realize that we were living beyond our income, and would have to pay for it sooner or later.
 * Letter to Nigel Nicolson (26 June 1957), quoted in Alistair Horne, Harold Macmillan, Volume II: 1957–1986 (London: Macmillan, 1989), p. 64

 * Indeed, let us be frank about it. Most of our people have never had it so good. Go around the country, go to the industrial towns, go to the farms, and you will see a state of prosperity such as we have never had in my life time—nor indeed ever in the history of this country. What is beginning to worry some of us is, is it too good to be true?—or perhaps I should say, is it too good to last? ... Our constant concern to-day is, can prices be steadied while at the same time we maintain full employment in an expanding economy? Can we control inflation? This is the problem of our time.
 * Speech at Bedford (20 July 1957), quoted in "More production 'the only answer' to inflation", The Times (22 July 1957), p. 4

 * If inflation priced us out of world markets we should be back in the old nightmare of unemployment. What folly to risk throwing away all that we have gained... Our first duty at a time when there is more money about than goods to spend it on is to keep down Government expenditure... The second duty of the Government is to frame policies which encourage saving and discourage spending... [I]n the long run there is only one answer to the 64,000 dollar question—to increase production. That is the answer. That is where the real hope lies.
 * Speech at Bedford (20 July 1957), quoted in "More production 'the only answer' to inflation", The Times (22 July 1957), p. 4

 * It is always a matter of regret from the personal point of view when divergences arise between colleagues, but it is the team that matters and not the individual, and I am quite happy about the strength and the power of the team, and so I thought the best thing to do was to settle up these little local difficulties, and then turn to the wider vision of the Commonwealth.
 * Statement to the press at Heathrow Airport (7 January 1958), quoted in "Mr Macmillan sets out", The Times (8 January 1958), p. 8
 * Macmillan was refusing to postpone a Commonwealth tour despite the resignation of the entire Treasury team of ministers.

 * I rather enjoy patronage. I take a lot of trouble over it. At least it makes all those years of reading Trollope seem worthwhile.

 * The most striking of all the impressions I have formed since I left London a month ago is of the strength of this African national consciousness. In different places it may take different forms but it is happening everywhere. The wind of change is blowing through this continent. Whether we like it or not, this growth of national consciousness is a political fact. We must all accept it as a fact. Our national policies must take account of it. This means, I would judge, that we must come to terms with it. I sincerely believe that if we cannot do so we may imperil the precarious balance between East and West on which the peace of the world depends.

 * So there you are – you can see what it is like. The camera's hot, probing eye, these monstrous machines and their attendants – a kind of twentieth century torture chamber, that's what it is. But I must try to forget about that, and imagine that you are sitting here in the room with me.
 * Opening to Conservative Party political broadcast (24 January 1962), quoted in "Call for 'A little extra effort'", The Times (25 January 1962), p. 6
 * Macmillan decided to open by showing the television outside broadcast crew who had set up their equipment.

 * So what did they do? They solemnly asked Parliament, not to approve or disapprove, but to 'take note' of our decision. Perhaps some of the older ones among you will remember that popular song: 'She didn't say "Yes", she didn't say "No". She didn't say "stay", she didn't say "go". She wanted to climb, but dreaded to fall, she bided her time and clung to the wall.'

Later life

 * Best of all was the summer term of 1914, more than two years before greats (the final school) had to be faced; a term, therefore, devoted almost wholly to enjoyment. It was, as so often again in a year of dramatic events, a perfect English summer. Oxford, not yet an industrial town or crowded with the buildings which science has brought in its train, was hardly changed from the Oxford of past centuries. The only concession to modernity (apart from the railway, which was some way from the town) were the trams. But these were horse-drawn. All that summer we punted on the river, bathed, sat in the quad, dined and argued with our friends, debated in the Union, danced at the Commemoration Balls.
 * Winds of Change, 1914–1939 (1966), p. 45

 * So I approach the date on which my story of the Fifty Years Revolution begins. The old world ended, with its strange mixture of beauty and ugliness, happiness and sorrow, good and evil—so much to be proud of; so much, looking back, of which perhaps to be ashamed. Yet the most rabid radical or the most caustic critic of the Britain that had fought and won a twenty-year battle for freedom a century before, that for a hundred years had helped to keep the peace of the world, and spread civilisation to its distant corners, cannot but feel that if, in this sequence of rapid change, much has been gained, something, too, has been lost.
 * Winds of Change, 1914–1939 (1966), p. 46

 * Of one thing I was glad. It was not an election fought on "Tranquillity"; it was an election fought upon a positive plan—protection against cheap industrial imports threatening British wage standards and jobs. Baldwin's message was easy to explain to those already unemployed or in fear of unemployment. Cheap imports were beginning to flood into the country, even of billets and bars, still more of manufactured iron and steel products. Surely we needed a tariff, if only for bargaining with other countries. Thus it was not difficult to preach protection with sincerity. I felt all the time that our policy attracted many trade unionists who would only not vote for us because of pressure or a false sense of solidarity. After all, before the rise of the Labour Party, the working class had traditionally been Tory; the tradesmen, the shopkeepers, and the middle classes had generally been Liberal... Meanwhile, the memory of massive unemployment began to haunt me then and for many years to come.
 * Winds of Change, 1914–1939 (1966), p. 146

 * The introduction after the First War by Lloyd George's Government of a national system of unemployment relief, however circumscribed by various rules and conditions, undoubtedly saved us from something like revolution when the Great Depression came.
 * Winds of Change, 1914–1939 (1966), p. 161

 * In later years I was to find economists and newspaper editors arguing against the principle of full employment, to which after the Second War all political parties attached so much importance. While I recognise the dangers of "over-employment", I have little sympathy with those who, writing from pleasant suburban retreats or comfortable editorial chairs, dilate upon the disciplinary values of pre-war conditions. It was my fate to live with the problems of heavy unemployment for fifteen years. They were not substantially eased by any conscious effort either in the industrial or economic field. Rearmament under Hitler's pressure and ultimately under war brought their own grim solution.
 * Winds of Change, 1914–1939 (1966), p. 162

 * The events of 1931 had struck a formidable blow to the hopes of a return to the pre-1914 "normalcy". Of course we had all known that there must be great changes resulting from the war: changes in economic and financial methods; still more, changes in concepts of social justice. But up to 1931 there was no reason to suppose that these would not, or could not, follow the same evolutionary pattern which had resulted from the increased creation and distribution of wealth throughout the nineteenth century. We had only to remove the hindrances to trade artificially created by the war and its aftermath. The rest would follow. Now, after 1931, many of us felt that the disease was more deep-rooted. It had become evident that the structure of capitalist society in its old form had broken down, not only in Britain but all over Europe and even in the United States. The whole system, therefore, had to be reassessed. Perhaps it could not survive at all; it certainly could not survive without radical change... [I]n the thirties, something like a revolutionary situation had developed, not only at home but overseas.
 * Winds of Change, 1914–1939 (1966), p. 283

 * British opinion was sadly confused. Throughout all these years, until just before the catastrophe, British people refused even to consider the possibility of another war. The last war had been so terrible in its devastations that it was "unthinkable" that this degrading and humiliating internecine strife between civilised countries could be repeated. War was not only intolerable, it was incredible. After all, the German people, whom our occupying troops had found to be decent and respectable folk, had not really wanted war. It was just the Kaiser and the militarists. We forgot, alas, how easily the Germans have succumbed to such leadership throughout history, and how readily they have applauded wars, so long as they were—as under Bismarck's guidance—short and successful.
 * Winds of Change, 1914–1939 (1966), pp. 384-385

 * It is no doubt true that you cannot "draw an indictment against a whole people". Yet the story of Prussian policy through many generations is dark indeed. "Prussia's whole policy", declared Metternich, "consisted in the enlargement of her territory and the extension of her influence; to attain it, she was willing to adopt any manner of means and pass over the law of nations and the universal principles of morality." What Frederick the Great began was followed by his successors at the end of the century, and continued by Bismarck. It inspired the Kaiser and his advisers in 1914. It was soon to be surpassed in cynicism and crime by Hitler.
 * Winds of Change, 1914–1939 (1966), p. 388

 * It breaks my heart to see (I can't interfere or do anything at my age) what is happening in our country today – this terrible strike of the best men in the world, who beat the Kaiser's army and beat Hitler's army, and never gave in. Pointless, endless. We can't afford that kind of thing. And then this growing division which the noble Lord who has just spoken mentioned, of a comparatively prosperous south, and an ailing north and midlands. That can't go on.
 * Maiden speech in the House of Lords on the miners' strike (13 November 1984), "Great Parliamentary Speeches" CD

 * I have long realised that the great figures in my old party have long ago given up Toryism and have adopted Manchester Liberalism of about 1860.
 * Speech in the House of Lords (23 January 1985)

 * It is very common with individuals or estates when they run into financial difficulties, to find that they have to sell some of their assets. First, the Georgian silver goes, then all that nice furniture that used to be in the saloon. Then the Canalettos go.
 * Speech to the Tory Reform Group (8 November 1985), quoted in "Stockton attacks Thatcher policies", The Times (9 November 1985), p. 1
 * Often quoted as "selling off the family silver".

 * When I ventured to criticise, the other day, this system I was, I am afraid, misunderstood. As a Conservative, I am naturally in favour of returning into private ownership and private management all those means of production and distribution which are now controlled by state capitalism. I am sure they will be more efficient. What I ventured to question was the using of these huge sums as if they were income. I know now, I have learnt now from the letters that I have received, that I am quite out of date. Modern economists have decided there is no difference between capital and income. I am not so sure. In my younger days, I and perhaps others of your Lordships had friends, good friends, very good fellows indeed too, who failed to make this distinction. For a few years everything went on very well, and then at last the crash came, and they were forced to retire out to some dingy lodging-house in Boulogne, or if the estate were larger and the trustees more generous, to a decent accommodation at Baden-Baden.
 * Speech in the House of Lords (14 November 1985), quoted in Hansard, House of Lords, 5th series, vol. 468, cols. 390-1

 * What I do not see is the argument...that we ought somehow to go on a quite different issue, a purely economic issue, to this new extreme which seems, greatly to my regret, to have inspired part of my party. There are no longer the principles of Lord Shaftesbury, Mr. Disraeli or Mr. Churchill. We are reverting to a form of neo-Cobdenism based upon the worst elements of the Manchester school, supported by aphorisms that would have done honour to that popular writer, Dr. Samuel Smiles. The paternalist elements and traditions of the Tory Party that come from its very roots are now unpopular. We are making a great error. It is because the people as a whole trusted those whom they regarded as their natural leaders to help them, support them and protect them that we have had the great authority in the past in our country.

Quotes about Macmillan

 * Macmillan was himself very much of the small 'l' liberal wing of the Conservative party, a loyal creature of the so-called "post-war consensus", an appeaser by deepest instinct, especially in matters of industrial conflict. His political speciality as Prime Minister (and one emulated by his Labour successor, Harold Wilson) would be to dose the populace with a comforting mixture of warm opium and treacle rather than dunk them in a cold but invigorating bath. Safe in his hands, therefore, would be the "managed economy", cosily complete with exchange controls and Exchequer-inflated, union-empowering "full employment". Safe too would be the welfare state, though ever more greedy in its demands on the taxpayer, ever more corrupting in its encouragement of dependency. In 1957, after all, a general election was in the offing, and Macmillan was the last man at such a time to snatch the warm teat of state maternalism out of a sucking voter's mouth.
 * Correlli Barnett, The Verdict of Peace: Britain Between Her Yesterday and the Future (2001), p. 515

 * I have listened to Harold Macmillan in the House of Commons many times and, however much I may have disagreed, I could never deny that throughout his life he has been consistent in his detestation of unemployment and in his belief that government has a major role to play in solving this human problem.
 * James Callaghan, Time and Chance (1987), p. 46

 * During the 1980s the most effective opposition to the principle of privatisation in fact came not from the Labour party, whose defence of the public sector seemed merely a reflex function of its backward-looking dependence on the trade unions, but from her [ Margaret Thatcher's] own side. A single phrase in a characteristically nostalgic speech by Harold Macmillan did more damage to the idea of privatisation than all the outraged anathemas of Neil Kinnock and Roy Hattersley. Speaking to the Tory Reform Group at the Carlton Club in November 1985, the former Prime Minister was said to have likened privatisation to a once-wealthy family fallen on hard times "selling the family silver". In fact, as is so often the case with famous phrases, Macmillan never used the words reported. What he actually said was: "First the Georgian silver goes. And then all that nice furniture that used to be in the saloon. Then the Canalettos go..." Despite the remoteness from most voters' experience of the aristocratic world he conjured up, Macmillan's words touched a cord. Quite ordinary families have some inherited "family silver", little used but which they do not like to sell. The image of minsters like a lot of dodgy house-strippers, knocking down the nation's heirlooms at a cost well below their true worth subtly undermined Mrs Thatcher's carefully created reputation for thrifty housekeeping. In vain the Government's supporters retorted that the industries being sold off were not assets at all, but liabilities which the Treasury was well rid of.
 * John Campbell, Margaret Thatcher, Volume Two: The Iron Lady (2003), p. 240

 * The two greatest men of our time – you and Jack. How marvellous you were with him...he always kept in his office a picture of you.
 * Jacqueline Kennedy to Macmillan (31 January 1964), quoted in D. R. Thorpe, Supermac: The Life of Harold Macmillan (2010), p. 586

 * He represented a generation of Tories who recognized duty and pursued the objective of one nation.
 * Neil Kinnock, The Independent (30 December 1986), quoted in Stephen Evans, 'Thatcher and the Victorians: A Suitable Case for Comparison?', History, Vol. 82, No. 268 (October 1997), p. 610

 * This divide between the American and British attitudes to diplomacy was not absolute, of course. Diplomats on both sides were skeptical about letting their leaders loose at the summit, and not all Americans believed that dialogue with the Soviets was pointless. But Republican exploitation of the Cold War and of the Yalta myths made it particularly difficult for U.S. policymakers to show much flexibility in the 1950s, whatever their inclinations. Consequently the initiative for summitry tended to come from Europe. On the Western side in the late 1950s it was Harold Macmillan, the British prime minister, who made the run for a summit— rather surprisingly, it might seem, considering his past. In 1938 he had been one of the few Tory opponents of Munich. He felt Yalta had been “a failure and a disaster” because “in an atmosphere of fervid rush and hurry, vast decisions were reached in a few crowded days.” And he noted in his diary in February 1957, weeks after taking office: “I am said to have lost touch with public opinion in England because I have not already set out for Moscow to see Khrushchev. All this is pure Chamberlainism. It is raining umbrellas.” But, as Churchill once observed, “how much more attractive a top-level meeting seems when one has reached the top!” Once into his stride as premier, Macmillan saw the political benefits of summitry and in February 1959 he contrived a personal visit to Moscow. Politically the trip was a great success, helping Macmillan win an election by a landslide later that year. But Britain, like France, was no longer a serious presence at the top table. The real momentum for a summit in the late 1950s came not from Western capitals but from the Kremlin.
 * David Reynolds, Summits: Six Meetings That Changed the World (2007), p. 168-169

 * I know the PM personally (he has been my publisher for twenty years) and think that I know his character. I know him as a gay, cavalier figure, ready for battle, fond of life and an occasional skirmish, and, above all, a rebel: a rebel against the Establishment. He was a rebel in the Tory party in the 1930s, and, in a sense, he is a rebel still. In this sense he is very like Winston Churchill, whom he greatly admires. Throughout his career, as throughout Winston's, the official Tory party has been against him, or at least (even when, ultimately, accepting him as its leader) has distrusted him. This is one reason why I admire him. He is in the great tradition of Disraeli and Winston as opposed to that other tradition of Bonar Law and Baldwin – men who, by their mediocrity, really represented instead of commanding the dull, impersonal, conventional, respectable forces of the Establishment.

 * Keep. This is a weird one. IMDb has no record of a program called Shorty McShorts' Shorts, yet the "official site" is at disney.go.com, which does appear to be Disney's official site (with an Alexa rating of 26, no less). I've never seen a program telecast on a major U.S. network not listed in IMDb. Sure, it's been only a month since it started, but IMDb often has this data before a show's premiere. (And yes, it's a short feature, but quite a few "shorts" are listed in IMDb as well.) Ultimately, even though both the WQ and Wikipedia articles need some cleanup and more substance, I'm inclined to keep this. It would be good, though, if we could get a non-Disney source to confirm it's been telecast. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 01:08, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Marianne Williamson

What is the source for Marianne Williamson's misattribution quote.

So far, most of my searches lead me back to this Wiki page.

Absent a source for the misattribution quote attributed to Marianne Williamson, it calls the misattribution quote itself into question.

---

The quote appears in Marianne Williamson's book, "A Return to Love: Refelctions on the Principles of A Course in Miracles", Copyright 1992 - ISBN 0-06-016374-7", page 165. Nelson Mandela's Inauguration Speech was delivered on May 9 and May 10, 1994: search www.gov.za for the May 9 speech and see the May 10 speech at http://www.anc.org.za/ancdocs/history/mandela/1994/inaugpta.html  Neither speech contains this quote.

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 21ritsuka. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name 21ritsuka~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.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:16, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
