This page needs editing to sort the quotes into episodes. If you know which episode a quote belongs to, please help wikiquote by editing that section.

The Serpent's Tooth

 * Nick is chatting online to a girl who, in Janey's opinion, sounds too good to be true
 * Nick: She's French, she's called Isabelle, she's a swimwear model, and her father's the chairman of a major electronics business.
 * Janey: Does the phrase "pull the other one" mean anything to you?
 * Nick: (grins) Ah, you think she's got a sister?

 * Ben notices a repair in one of Susan's teeth
 * Ben: You've been seeing another dentist!

A Pain in the Class

 * Ben is trying to encourage Michael to stand up to the school bully
 * Ben: Come on! Scare me! Try and put me down!
 * Michael: You're losing your hair, you're getting turkey neck, and the only reason you're a dentist is you failed to get into medical school!

 * Susan: If you had been a more organised person, maybe you could've been a doctor by now!
 * Ben: If you'd have been five inches taller, blonde, with long legs, you could've been a doctor's wife by now!

Droit de Seigneur Ben

 * Janey: Dad, I'm not a vir...er...y naive person!

The Last Resort

 * [first lines]
 * Janey: Dad, I'm just curious. Are you planning to forget again this year?
 * Ben: Ah. A riddle. I love a riddle. Let's see, the answer is: I don't know what you're talking about so go away.
 * Janey: Mum's birthday.
 * Ben: Oh my God, not again.

 * Chloe: Those old people are swingers.
 * Susan: Swingers? As in Glenn Miller, or as in Glenn Miller, his wife and the rest of his band?

Farewell to Alarms

 * The new alarm system is causing too many problems
 * Susan: They say it's there for our protection.
 * Ben: Protection from what? I've almost broken my bloody neck on the staircase, I've got a son who's deaf, I've got a son in a coma, and a daughter as ugly as sin!

 * The phone rings in the surgery and Ben answers it. It's Nick, and there are muffled sounds from the other end of the line:
 * Ben: Yes, Nick...
 * There is a short pause for more muffled sounds:
 * Ben: Even if I had a thong, I wouldn't let you borrow it... No, your mother hasn't got one either.

 * In the night, Ben and Susan hear a noise from downstairs and Susan sends him down to inspect:
 * Ben: (as he enters the kitchen) Janey? Micheal? Nick?
 * Dave: Dave.
 * Ben: (spins around) Dave? We haven't got a Dave who are you?

 * The next morning where everyone except Dave is downstairs:
 * Ben: Nick, would you like to tell me what the hell 'Dave' is doing in our house?
 * Nick: Oh yeah, Dad. You know how you told me I needed a new job, well guess what! I'm a landlord!

Death and Ben Take a Policy

 * Susan complains about how people are forced to lock up their true emotions
 * Ben: Susan, I'm a dentist. I spend all day listening to how people really feel, and it's usually "Ouch!" and after a long day of "Ouch!", I like to come home to a bit of "Aah..."

 * Ben: (talking to Michael about death) When I was younger, I thought people died because life was unfair. Then you and your brother and sister were born, and I realised life really was unfair. And expensive.

The Awkward Phase

 * Ben: Now, my dad... my dad loved to give advice. And I was going out with this girl and I remember he said... he said, "Ben, no matter how beautiful you think she is and no matter how much you're in love with her or perfect she is - if she eats a dodgy piece of fish, she'll end up chucking her guts up like the rest of us!"

 * Janey: I wish I was dead!
 * Susan: Janey! How can you say that? "I wish I *were* dead." The subjunctive. Boys are more impressed by good grammar than tight jeans, you know.

Much Ado about Ben

 * Susan: [identifying who has called her, crying] Oh, Doreen. My yoga teacher, poor thing. While she was becoming one with the universe, her husband was becoming one with an accounts manager from Croydon.

All Roads Lead to Ramon
Ben and Susan discuss Janey's habit of going out with boy after boy for her own benefit
 * Susan: She'll grow out of it.
 * Ben: I should hope so.
 * Susan: I did.
 * Ben: I should bloody hope so.

 Nick appears at the house with a tour group
 * Nick: Here we have a typical English home, the family seat of the Harper dynasty. And here we have a typical English man. Hey, Dad! As you can see he's taken the day off to slob around in his dressing gown. There's the telly and there's his banana sandwich. Some of you may be interested to know that he's just had a big falling out with his daughter, after he called her a prostitute.

The Unkindest Cut
Susan announces that she may be pregnant
 * Ben: Well, at least that proves there is a God...and He hates me!

 ''Ben's patient is pregnant. She and the new assistant are very excited''
 * Patient: We're all ready for our little bundle of joy!
 * Ben: Bundle of joy. You two haven't a clue what you're talking about, have you?

Parisian Beauty

 * Susan Harper: For little girls get bigger every day...
 * Ben Harper: Grow up then.

Trust Never Sleeps
''Janey is holding a house party in her parents' absence. Ben has returned to check up on them''
 * Ben: (To Susan) Come on, don't fight it. This could be your only chance to find out what your kids get up to when you're not there. What's the harm in one little look? You know you want to...

Death and Ben Take a Holiday
Ben knocks on Nick's hotel room
 * Nick: I was expecting someone else.
 * Ben: So was I, but your mother swears you're ours.

Driving Miss Crazy
Ben is moaning about his neighbour, who recently lost his wife, and his new dog
 * Ben: I mean, if I popped my clogs, would you replace me with a pet?
 * Susan: No pet could replace you. Except perhaps a bad-tempered ferret.

 No one thinks Ben is the right person to take Janey driving
 * Ben: What a splendid family. I've got a daughter who thinks I'm a joke, a son who thinks I'm demented, a wife who doesn't support me and a...(looks at Nick) pillock.
 * Nick: Look on the bright side, Dad. At least it took your mind off Mr Casey.
 * Ben: Oh, yes. Mr Casey! Mr Casey! (exit)
 * Susan: (looks at Nick) You pillock!

The Age of Romance

 * Nick: Dad, have you seen the car keys lately?
 * Ben: No.
 * Nick: (holds up the keys and jingles them in his face) Well, take a good look. I won't be back till late!

 * Ben: Don't even bother to try and make love to me tonight!

''Ben switches light out and turns his back on Susan. She sits there patiently''
 * Ben: ...You're not gonna bother, are you?

Get Cartier

 * Susan: Don't eat that! You'll ruin your dinner.
 * Ben: I thought that was your job.
 * Susan: No, my job is to ruin your life.

'Tis a Pity She's a Whore
Whose turn is it to visit Susan's mother?
 * Michael: I went to see her last time she was dying.
 * Nick: I'll go next time.
 * Janey: And what happens if she really is dying?
 * Nick: (grins) Then I win!

 * Susan: The motto on your family crest should read: "Mediocrity or Death".
 * Ben: Well, it's better than "For a Good Time, Call"!

The Last Supper
''Susan's new boss, the rotund American Scott Taylor, has come round for dinner. Ben and Susan have to cater for his every need''
 * Ben: Coffee. To make you feel at home, Scott, yours has been stewed, reheated and served in a plastic cup.
 * Scott: No coffee for me. I feel sick. Your wife has triggered my acid reflux.
 * Ben: I know, I know. Isn't she marvellous?

 Susan is in a confessional talking to a priest about her boss's death
 * Reverend: You can't argue someone to death.
 * Susan: Yes you can.
 * Reverend: No you can't.
 * Susan: Well, that's your opinion.
 * Reverend: Yes it is.
 * Susan: Well you're wrong.
 * Reverend: (exhausted) In God's eyes, you're not guilty.
 * Susan: Oh, what does He know?

Ben Wants to be a Millionaire
Nick has abandoned the plan to sell his organs online, in favour of a new one
 * Nick: I get to set my own hours, get to work from home, and talk about job satisfaction!
 * Susan: What exactly is this new job?
 * Nick: Sperm donor.

Absent Vixen, Cheeky Monkey

 * Nick: Dad, now Janey's going, can I have a pay rise?

 * Nick: Who'd have thought it, eh? Our little girl flying the nest. Before you know it, Michael will be gone too. Then it will just be the three of us, the way it was meant to be.

Desperately Squeaking Susan
Michael reads to Ben a text message from Nick
 * Michael: "Tesco's out of Brie, so gn to Paris."
 * Ben: "Gn?"
 * Michael: "Prices 2 high, so gn to Nice for chse."
 * Ben: Mm-hmm.
 * Michael: "Don't worry about money. I have Dad's bnk card." Any reply?
 * Ben: Yep, yep.

Michael types as Ben dictates
 * Ben: "Dr Nk, u r f'd."

Of Mice and Ben
Abi wants to feature Ben and Susan in her film project
 * Ben: I am not having people witness my life. It's bad enough that I have to see it.

 * Ben: (on camera) I know you might not want to use this in your little film, but I just want to put the record straight...she asked me to marry her.

 On camera, Susan refers to the rat obliquely as a "little visitor"
 * Ben: Who?
 * Susan: You know. Our guest. The one who eats all our food and is always bothering us?
 * Ben: Oh, Abi.
 * Susan: No, the hairy one.
 * Ben: Nick.

Imperfect Strangers
Susan and Ben are in a hotel bar, pretending to be strangers
 * Susan: (under her breath) You're late.
 * Ben: (under his breath) How do you know? You've not met me yet.

 Susan has caught the attention of an older man
 * Susan: You don't understand. I don't want to!
 * Raymond: Ah, but your eyes say "Yes".
 * Susan: Yours will be saying "Ow" in a minute.

The Second Greatest Story Ever Told
Artistic differences
 * Susan: Your line sounds dated.
 * Director: Well, it is set two thousand years ago!
 * Susan: So is Jesus Christ Superstar, but it didn't stop Lloyd Webber from adding guitars!
 * Director: For the fifth time, you're not going to sing!

Waiting to Inhale
Susan has found a joint in Michael's room
 * Susan: I'm going to confront him with this and give him a piece of my mind!
 * Ben: I think you've lost enough of it already...which means: let me talk to him.
 * Susan: You?!
 * Ben: Yeah. Let's at least let him grow some goolies before you lop 'em off.

 * Michael: I'm going to be a Tory Prime Minister. I don't need any hippy baggage in my past.
 * Ben: So what were you doing at that girl's house, then?
 * Michael: I didn't go for illicit drugs; I went for illicit sex.
 * Ben: You are a Tory!

A Handful of Dust

 * Ben and Susan are discussing Janey's new friend, Kate, who is a lesbian
 * Susan: There are many notable lesbians in history. Catherine the Great.
 * Ben: Name says it all.
 * Susan: k.d. lang.
 * Ben: Wonderful voice. Sharon Simpson.
 * Susan: Who's she?
 * Ben: One of my patients. Lovely teeth.

 * Nick: Oh, no! My worst nightmare: two lesbians sharing a bed in my house, and one of them's my sister!

 * Janey: I'm not gay.
 * Ben: Well that about takes the biscuit doesn't it? How dare you not be gay. Good God! You put us through anxiety, anger, confusion, doubt, anger...
 * Susan: You said anger.
 * Ben: I was angry twice. Until we finally reach tolerance and acceptance, and you tell us you're not gay. My own daughter! I feel betrayed!

Ghosts
Nick wants to be a taxi driver
 * Nick: I'm doing The Knowledge.
 * Ben: You haven't even passed The Ignorance.

 Michael and Abi have just finished dinner when Ben walks in
 * Michael: There might be some burnt cheese stuck to the lid. You snooze, you lose.
 * Ben: No, I win! (holds up bag) Yes, it's Chinese Takeaway time! Oh yes! Oh, look at this! Chicken with cashew nuts, spring rolls, capital spare ribs. My favourite. And it's followed closely by the ever-loved rice. It's alright, Michael; you can lick the lids.
 * Michael: You mean to say you got takeaway and you didn't even consult your kids.
 * Ben: (smiling broadly) Yeah.
 * Abi: Don't you feel guilty?
 * Ben: (still smiling) No.

 * Nick: Is that Chinese takeaway?
 * Ben: No, it's Chinese keep-away.

 Nick arrives dressed as an exorcist, and sees Ben asleep on the sofa
 * Nick: What putrefaction is this? Michael, holy water. (takes a spray bottle) Music. (plays Tubular Bells) Be thou not afraid! (sprays Ben)

 * Ben: (to Abi) You, you're unhinged! (to Michael) You, you're demented! (to Nick) You, you're just... you!

 Ben wants to know which cinema Nick drove Susan to
 * Nick: Sorry, Dad. I can't betray a confidence. A cab driver's like a priest.
 * Ben: Twenty quid?
 * Nick: Bless you, my son!

One Flew out of the Cuckoo's Nest

 * [Ben discovers his Barry White record is broken]
 * Susan: I'm sure there's a reasonable explanation.
 * Ben: Yes there is. Nick!
 * Susan: How do you know?
 * Ben: It's a fact of life that my property plus broken always equals, NICK!

Ding Dong Merrily

 * (Ben's anti-Yuletide sentiments)
 * Susan: Why are you always convinced that Christmas is going to be a disaster?
 * Ben: Because it always is. It's traditional.
 * Susan: No it isn't.
 * Ben: There you go, always looking to the negative. You know I'm right; look at last year.
 * Susan: We all had a lovely time.
 * Ben: Oh yeah, you did. I got beaten up by carol singers...
 * Susan: Ah, yes...lovely voices.
 * Ben: The year before that there was the turkey.
 * Susan: OK, so it needed to stay in for a bit longer.
 * Ben: Susan, it was still alive. I'm trying to forget the year of the puppy.
 * Susan: Oh, the puppy...yes, that was sad, wasn't it? But those aren't reasons to hate Christmas.
 * Ben: Alright, try these: you have to jolly up to people you normally wouldn't bother to rescue from drowning; you get drunken men in suits vomiting in your flowerbeds; you're effectively trapped in the house with the central heating on full blast; and then someone throws a log on the fire because they think it's festive!

 * Susan Harper: Don't be defeatist!
 * Ben Harper: I'm not defeatist; I'm defeated.

 * Ben: What's that?
 * Susan: Chocolate Raisin Turkey with Caramel.
 * Ben: Excuse me?
 * Susan: It's Moroccan.
 * Ben: (looks at her cookbook) Ah, I see. Several pages of your cookbook are stuck together. Yeah, you've moved from Poultry to Dessert.
 * Susan: That's how great discoveries are made. Luddite.

 Susan has given everyone revolting ties
 * Ben: (cringing) It's the thought that counts.
 * Michael: Shame it's such a horrible thought.
 * Nick: Nice tie!

 * Ben: Ignorance is bliss.
 * Susan: Then you must be the happiest man in the world.
 * Ben: (under his breath) I was until I married you.
 * Susan: I heard that!

 Michael attempts to follow Nick and Janey to the pub
 * Ben: Hey, you're not allowed in pubs.
 * Michael: I am if I have a plated meal in a clearly designated restaurant area.

Fitting Punishment

 * Michael: I've got the training, I've got the equipment, all I need now is the collapse of western civilization.

They Shoot Harpers, Don't They?
Ben's regular dance partner is feeling neglected
 * Mrs Gleaves: You're a user, just like my husband!
 * Ben: You're a nutcase, just like my wife!

The Great Escape

 * Susan: What happened?
 * Ben: I'd just rather not talk about it right now.
 * Susan: Okay. Good night.
 * Ben: Susan, I very nearly had sexual intercourse with your mother.
 * Susan: What?
 * Ben: I didn't know she was there. I thought it was you.
 * Susan: Oh... Ben, that's... that's... that's terrible! (begins laughing) And funny at the same time.
 * Ben: It is not funny!
 * Susan: Oh, come on, it's a little bit funny.
 * Ben: Susan, I– we very nearly became a Greek tragedy!
 * Susan: Look, look, I don't want her here any more than you do, but she's in great pain and can't move.
 * Ben: Are you sure she's not faking it?
 * Susan: I don't know, you tell me. (begins laughing again)

Return of the Prodigal Prat

 * Nick: (pulling a container from the refrigerator) Is this lasagne or fish?
 * Michael: What's it smell like?
 * Nick: Fish.
 * Michael: Then it's lasagne.

Owed to Susan

 * Ben: Eh, poetry... I'm not that desperate, I can tell you!
 * Abi: Then could you stop feeling up the grapefruit?

Deliverance

 * (Ben flashbacks to Nick's birth. However, instead of a baby, he pictures a full grown Nick sticking out from between his mothers legs).
 * Nick: Hello Dad! Could you lend me a fiver?

Blind Justice

 * Abi: Your mother's gone blind because she's seen the unseeable: your messy room! (whispers) She didn't see the girl you had up there, though.
 * Susan: Yes I did, but, you know, I'm cool with that.

Friday the 31st

 * (Susan has run out of treats.)
 * Susan: And for you, something really special!
 * Girl 1: A Biro with half an inch of ink in it?
 * Susan: People will kill for one of those in Morocco.
 * Girl 1: We're not in Morocco!
 * Susan: More's the pity!

Sitting Targets

 * Ben: (of Kenzo) Susan, the baby will wake up when he's good and ready.
 * Susan: That is so old-fashioned! Haven't you read any of the latest baby care books?
 * Ben: Have you?
 * Susan: I don't need to; I've raised three children... and you.

Loco Parentis

 * Ben: Susan, admit it. All these years, you have been screwing up the kids. It's me, I've been the perfect parent.

The Canary Cage

 * Susan: (speaking on telephone) Oh, hello. Yes, mi nombre es Senora Susan Harper. ¿cómo está usted?
 * Ben: Susan, hello? You're phoning London.
 * Susan: I know, but, you know, "when in Rome".
 * Ben: We're not in Rome, we're in hell!

May the Best Man Win

 * Abi: Hello Judith
 * Ben: It's Judas!!!

It's a Window-Filled Life

 * Ben: (subdued) I've just seen what my family's life would be like, had I never been born. They'd be no different. No difference at all. I've had no effect on anything.
 * Clarence: Wow, that's depressing.
 * Ben: No, it's not. (grins) It's wonderful! Don't you see? They're the crazy ones! I'm off the hook!

Sixty Feet Under

 * Delays on the Tube
 * Ben: Oh, for crying out loud...
 * Susan: Ben, calm down. It's only been five minutes.
 * Nick: (staring at a nervous, elderly couple) That's how it always starts. With five minutes. Then ten. Then half an hour. Then an hour. Then two hours... and then a month.
 * Ben: Nick.
 * Nick: Then two months.
 * Ben: Nick!
 * Nick: Then a year!
 * Ben: Nick, please!
 * Barry Hall: Could you please get your son to be quiet?
 * Ben: No, but you have a go, by all means.
 * Barry: He's making my wife nervous.
 * Ben: You'll get used to it.
 * Barry: That's right. Nothing to do with you. Wash your hands of it.
 * Susan: Don't worry. He has.

 * Susan: The glass is always half-empty with you, isn't it?
 * Ben: Half-empty. Cracked. Chipped. Dirty. Smeared with toxic, germ-ridden, radioactive s-
 * Susan: Anyway...

While You Weren't Sleeping

 * Micheal had last night kissed his mother when she was asleep on the couch thinking she was his girlfriend...:
 * Susan: We should have told you all not to worry about our relationship in the first place
 * Micheal: Is that why you slept on the couch?
 * Everyone stares at him judgingly:
 * Micheal: I just.. know...

A Wife Less Ordinary
Susan concludes the recreation of her first date with Ben

 * Susan Harper: Oh, I'm glad your here. I'd like to introduce you to Cheerful Charlie Chortle, Uncle Morris, and The Amazing Beppo.
 * Ben Harper: Well if they're here, who's running the country?

 * Ben Harper: Good God! No wonder Charlie Chortle's chortling, look how much Charlie Chortles charging!
 * Susan Harper: Actually we're not having Charlie Chortle. He's having gall bladder surgery.
 * Ben Harper: Can't the kids watch that? It'll be cheaper and funnier.

Bliss for Idiots

 * Ben: What is this masterpiece?
 * Susan: "Shut Up and Be Happy"
 * Ben: Too late; I'm married.

 * Susan: How was it then? Your "society?"
 * Ben: 2 words. Gay disco.

Ho Ho No
Ben: Are we positioning a tree, or sizing a cruise missile.

Have an Unhappy Christmas

 Ben is not going to Buckingham Palace with Susan
 * Susan: All I'm asking from you is one lousy day!

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 Alsoevso. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Alsoevso~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 23:17, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

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 Exvicious. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Exvicious~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 23:23, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Recent revert
I noticed you reverted my Ganandi quote. It is directally from a book I have right hear with me called, "GANDHI AN AUTOBIOGRAPHY" Wazzawazzawaz 03:27, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

 * I concede that there might be such a line, but it is not evident in my google searches; providing a page number and publisher would be helpful in perhaps eventually confirming your assertions. The tone of your dialog and the fact that there also appears to be no "Jeffery Garhmand" as an author or subject of any books at all, does not enhance your credibility. ~  Shadow 03:52, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Just because you cant find something on Google doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. "Google is not "GOD" Wazzawazzawaz 03:57, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Forgot, the books are as follows, "Gandhi An Autobiography: The Story of My Experiments With Truth" and "Spies Among Us : How to Stop the Spies, Terrorists, Hackers, and Criminals You Don't Even Know You Encounter Every Day " check them out of your local library and I guarantee the quotes will be there. Wazzawazzawaz 03:57, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Using Amazon's book search there is no sign of a Garhmand, Garhman, or Garman, Garhman, Gharman, or any other similar name inside that book or listed in the index of Spies Among Us : How to Stop the Spies, Terrorists, Hackers, and Criminals You Don't Even Know You Encounter Every Day. ~ Shadow 04:14, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, I have it right infront of me and it is right here on page 18. Wazzawazzawaz 04:17, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
 * See, this comes down to your evidence vs. my evidence. I have physical proof, and all you have is Amazon and Google. Who wins? Come on man get real. Wazzawazzawaz 04:17, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

 * If I might jump in on this discussion, as I just pointed out on Wazzawazzawaz's talk page, an ISBN number or other verifiable publication information would be useful. A person's claim of physical proof is not verifiable — not even if it comes from Wikipedia's founder — and a central tenet of Wikimedia Foundation materials is verifiability. Providing publication information that can be independently verified is necessary. There are many independent sources that may be used for verification with this data. For instance, it is almost certain that the Library of Congress will have a record of any English-language book authored by Gandhi (as well as quite a few non-English ones, as my brief check of its 599 records for Gandhi revealed). So far, I found nothing called Gandhi: An Autobiography, but more details could help find such a book.

 * Wazzawazzawaz, if you wonder why it is so important to be able to verify information, let me point out that Wikimedia projects deal with literally thousands of vandals every day, from people who simply write expletives across articles, to sophisticated ones who enjoy creating bogus articles with realistic-looking but completely fake "sources". Since we try not to prevent anyone who demonstrates minimal good faith from participating in editing, we must have standards that allow this global community to continually verify its texts. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 04:40, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Others
I created the "Others" section. I am confident that those quotes can be sourced, so if any one is willing to track down the sources of those quotes then that'd be nice. Jamesters 21:37, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Sorry. I decided to remove them.  There are so many sourced quotes, just follow any of the links given with the others and you can find many more.  How about the Way of God's Will? I'm sure you can find sourced quotes that make these same points. Generally it is not WP policy to give unsourced information on a living person anyway.  Thanks.  Steve Dufour 12:46, 21 October 2006 (UTC) Here are the quotes I cut out:

Unsourced

 * "Communism is trying to take the world by force. But God will take the world by love."

 * "Every religious pioneer, including Jesus Christ, was persecuted by his contemporaries. But once people understand me, their turn can be dramatic like Saint Paul's."

 * "The greatest barrier to peace in our world today is greed and selfishness in the human heart. Individual greed opens the way to national greed. This leads to divisiveness and conflict among people and nations. Tragically, this has caused so much bloodshed and needless human suffering."

 * "There are many crooked lines and one straight line. Which is the line of truth? Why the straight line? Truth is always the shortest distance between two points. "

 * "Throughout history no one has suffered more than God. He has suffered because his own children fell away from him. Ever since the Fall, God has been working tirelessly for the restoration of mankind. People do not know this brokenhearted aspect of God."

 * "The spiritual world is connected with the physical world. The common factor connecting all things is true love."

...

Hmmm, I see to remember Steve saying, "If you add them with cites no one will remove them." Steve Dufour 06:00, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

But several were. About them:

The "dung eating dogs" quote is from a page dealing solely with a Moon speech. It gives no indication that he did not say this thus it shoud stay.

 * This was a title added by the editors. The whole quote is reprinted on the WP article on Rev. Moon.Steve Dufour 15:22, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

The "Jesus: Reverend Sun Myung Moon! Thou art the Second Coming who inaugurated the Completed Testament Age!" I have found the UC source for thus it should remain

The "Bring in the flocks", quoted by a UC publication here I don't see where Moon didn't say it?

The last two you might object that it doesn't specifically state that Moon said this but these are UC publications and thus Moon sanctioned statements.

 * But still they are not quotes by him.Steve Dufour 15:22, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Additionally I think that on a page as long as this it is more helpful for reseachers if you have some kind of table of contents and the divisions I made do not seem to me to be unwarranted. 4.246.206.62 08:39, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

 * I am not sure what the policy here in Wikiquotes on this is. I left a notice for the administrators. Steve Dufour 15:22, 24 November 2006 (UTC) P.S. If people are really researchers they will want to visit the original sources.

Okay Steve, let's go through you objections.

1) You said tht labeling quotes "favorable" "neutral" and "controversal" is wildly POV) Huh? In what possible way? 2) About this subtitle "The World including Jesus himself to bow down before Moon" you also claim is "wildly POV". Um, these are comments that Moon and the UC have themselves stated.  There was no misinterpreting it. 3) About the link on Moon's quotes on the immaculate conception you said, not an exact quote. This is true. I linked to the page because there was so much on it, however I will try to get an exact quote. 4) About the "Bring in the flocks" quote and the "Moon! Thou art the Second Coming" quotes you said "not quotes by him at all". However previously I wrote "you might object that it doesn't specifically state that Moon said this but these are UC publications and thus Moon sanctioned statements."  Am I right? 5) About my subtitle about Moon's sex related comments being bizarre you wrote that they are "bizzare" is wildly POV. I wouldn't say that they are "wildly" POV and I do think that they are bizarre, however if you want to tone that down that's fine by me. 6) About the "dung eating dogs" quote you said, not a quote by him, the original quote is on the WP article Sun Myung Moon I provided a link to a UC page that contains a Moon speech, nothing else. There is no indication that he did not say this and in fact he says very nearly the same thin in the text that follows.  It should stay.  7) About the baseball bat quotes you say These are jokes, not really about violence. That's your interpretation. And are these Moon's comments? Then they should remain on a page of Moon quotes. 8) About the influencing politicians subtitle you said people can read the quotes without someone telling them what they are about This is merely descriptive of the following in keeping with my feeling that these comments are easier for reseachers categorized.

Again, you previously stated ''Dividing the "controversal" from the "uncontroversal" might be harder than it sounds. But as far as I know no one has removed any quotes from the wikiquote page.'' To which I replied "I'm not refering to the quotes already there which a cursory reading of which all sound favorable to Moon, I mean the addition of the controversial ones (such as those I listed above)" and then you said If you add them with cites no one will remove them Thus I am reverting and including a few more quotes.

By the way, about the removing of the subtitles on the quotes page. Until you get an answer I don't see why they can't remain. 4.246.204.205 18:17, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Truthfully, it's starting to look like censorship, besides that I don't want to spend more time on it. You can consider me done after this. Happy holidays.

 * I did not remove anything that Rev. Moon himself had said, half of which were added by critics BTW. All I did was remove comments by other people. I will continue to do so unless the admins here say that it is ok to have something else besides quotes by the person in a collection of quotations. Wishing you the best in this holiday season as well.  You are much more reasonable and polite than many of Rev. Moon's critics. Steve Dufour 03:09, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

 * Yes, quotes about a person are as legitimate in WQ as quotes by a person. See Templates/People.  121a0012 04:49, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

 * I didn't know that. Sounds fair enough. Steve Dufour 05:14, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

Just checking in. Seems to me Steve that 121a0012 has okayed the "bring in the flocks" quote which you objected to because it is not a direct quote. But it is about him. Here it is on a UC site. What do ya say? 4.246.202.235 00:08, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

 * If you start a section of "Quotes about him" then including that one is fine. Steve Dufour 07:01, 27 November 2006 (UTC) I went ahead and did this.

 * sigh* I AM done doggoneit! On the "bring in the flocks" quote I listed the original source (which the UC page in the link refers to) rather than just leave it as "court case in Belgium" which is misleading.  I also added other quotes and added spaces as per your arrangement between the * and the quote, which was not uniform throughout. 4.246.204.25 17:44, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Cleanup?
I'm sorry but I don't see what is wrong with the article. Unless someone can help by pointing out what needs to be changed I will remove the tag again. Steve Dufour 04:07, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

 * Let me count the ways....
 * Too much space between quotations.
 * Incorrect section headings.
 * Extraneous quotation marks around every quotation.
 * Extraneous "Source:" before every citation.
 * Internal links not used for all dates, to enable MediaWiki's date-style preference feature.
 * Those are just the ones that were obvious to me at first glance. 121a0012 05:01, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

 * I am new here on WQ. I will work on those things.  Steve Dufour 06:43, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Just a note. I still think that this page would benefit by a division of the quotes into favorable or neutral and controversial or some other division, perhaps by subject. As it is you have so many quotes that if someone is looking for a certain one it is like looking for a needle in a haystack. 4.246.203.11 01:14, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

 * But in order to decide what the quote is about, or if it is controversial, you would have to use your own POV. Some people might think the first quote, for instance, is blasphemous.  Others might think it is really cool. Or some might find it uninteresting.  I'm going to go ahead and remove some of the quotes that I myself added to the list in order to shorten it a bit. (Because of my promise I will not remove quotes added by others, but how many times do we need to read that Jesus failed or that we must learn to speak Korean?) BTW all of the quotes on the page are things Rev. Moon himself said and which were posted by church members on official or unofficial church websites, so in general I would think that they would be favorable. Steve Dufour 05:44, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Undated quotes
Since this seems to be an issue, I went ahead and removed the undated quotes. Some of them did not have an online source. There are hundreds, or thousands, of sourced exactly dated quotes online. Just follow any of the links now used as cites. Steve Dufour 01:19, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I am going to remove the second batch of undated quotes, rather than have them at the end in a sort of second-class status. Steve Dufour 20:57, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

I reverted those removals, and will review this page further, to the extent I have the time within a few days. Those quotes were from published and dated documents. There is no need for every statement made by Mr. Moon to be dated to its time of utterance. ~ Kalki 21:47, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

 * How long do you think the page should be? There are thousands of pages of speeches by Rev. Moon that are recorded on the Internet. Steve Dufour 22:18, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

I have no set opinion of how large any page should be, and have no strong inclinations to add quotes either by or about Moon, but am generally inclined to preserve genuine quotes that have been added by others to most pages unless there are clear reasons to remove them. I believe that any disputes about removals should generally be handled by consensus, if there are not clear violations of Wikiquote or Wikimedia policies impelling their removal. I have not yet fully examined the material that has recently been added or removed here, but will attempt to do so within the next day or so. ~ Kalki 00:16, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Remove undated quotes - I agree with on this one - the Undated quotes should be removed.  Dark journey 02:16, 26 November 2007 (UTC).

 * I feel the page should be of a length that is readable in one sitting. As I said, readers can follow the links and find as much material as they like. I also think that the quotes themselves should be interesting and include some of Rev Moon's most famous quotes, such as "I will conquer and subjugate the world." I don't care about the dating. I was just following Dark Journey's lead on that as a way to reduce the size of the list. (I'm a Unification Church member, BTW.) Steve Dufour 07:48, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

This hasn't been a top priority issue for me, and I still haven't attended to the article, but I am rather perplexed as to why these quotes are being labeled "undated" at all. This is not a standard heading at wikiquote and there are clearly dates of publication for ALL of them. Though knowing the precise date of public speeches is a good thing, there actually are no wikiquote requirements which demand showing a precise date of creation or enunciation for every published statement of a person — in most articles such quotes are simply included in chronological order in regard to their date of publication in the "Sourced" section, followed by chronological arrangement of sections for more extensively quoted works. There are many articles that have been departing from this norm, for various reasons, and I believe they should be reduced, and intend to cleanup at least a couple this week. ~ Kalki 08:34, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

 * I will try removing the undated section again; not, for me, because they are undated but because the page has enough quotes without them and any interested reader can find an almost unlimited supply with only a mouse-click. Steve Dufour 07:28, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

I restored these quotes again, because a quick scanning of them and of the rest of the article reveals them to be plainly indicative of various extreme forms of arrogance, duplicity and peculiar conceits, as opposed to the generally hagiographic tone of the rest of the page. ~ Kalki 08:58, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

I have now moved these into a proper chronological order, done some minor format cleanup, and added one quote by Orrin Hatch and one by Moon regarding the tax fraud and conspiracy charges which were brought against him. ~ Kalki 11:08, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

I have once again restored these quotes after the the concerted effort to remove them through the use of one false or facetious reason or another; this time they were removed because they weren't online. Immediate online access is NOT, and NEVER HAS BEEN a criterion for "verifiability" — though these are certainly convenient and helpful, the only absolute requirement for sourced quotes is that credible publication citations which can be checked are provided. ~ Kalki 16:47, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

Trimming
I removed these two, which I think are somewhat less interesting than the others and seem to cover material which is already mentioned by other quotes:

 * Through True Love our family shall accomplish the True Family of the Filial Child, the Loyal Subject, the Saint and the Holy Child of the Cheon Il Guk (God's Kingdom on earth.)
 * Church Motto, 2003-01-01

 * Then who is the Messiah, and what is he like? He is the owner and substantiation of faith, hope, and love not only for the individual but also for the family, tribe, society, nation, world, and cosmos.
 * The Messiah and True Parents 2004-01-27

If you disagee please put them back. Steve Dufour 14:09, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Divine Principle quote
I moved this back to the about section. The Divine Principle is based on Rev. Moon's teachings but it is not clear if the exact words were his. On the other hand the quote is about him, and is probably the most famous quote about him. It is often quoted by church critics as well as members. Steve Dufour 01:42, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Circumcision

circumcision (from Latin circumcidere, meaning "to cut around") is the partial or complete removal of the foreskin (prepuce).

Quotes

 * Male circumcision provides a degree of protection against acquiring HIV infection, equivalent to what a vaccine of high efficacy would have achieved. Male circumcision may provide an important way of reducing the spread of HIV infection in sub-Saharan Africa.
 * Dr Auvert, et al, PLoS Medicine, November 2005

 * Circumcised males do not benefit from their circumcision but instead only suffer pain and permanent disfigurement of their genitalia.
 * Thomas Bartman, MD, PHD Division of Neonatology University of California, San Francisco Pediatrics, Evanston, Jan 2001, Vol. 107:1, p 210

 * Our conclusion is that circumcision is neither a compelling prophylactic measure nor a form of child abuse. For this reason, nontherapeutic circumcision of infant boys is a suitable matter for parental discretion.
 * Drs Benatar and Benatar, American Journal of Bioethics, 2003

 * To cut off the uppermost skin of the secret parts is directly against the honesty of nature, and an injurious insufferable trick put upon her.
 * Dr John Bulwer Anthropometamorphosis, man transform'd, or the artificial changeling (London 1650), p. 213

 * Circumcision counts for nothing, and its lack makes no difference either. What matters is keeping God’s commandments.
 * 1 Corinthians 7:18-19, New American Bible, 1978-1979 edition

 * Then God said to Abraham, “As for you, you must keep my covenant, you and your descendants after you for the generations to come. 10 This is my covenant with you and your descendants after you, the covenant you are to keep: Every male among you shall be circumcised. 11 You are to undergo circumcision, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and you. 12 For the generations to come every male among you who is eight days old must be circumcised, including those born in your household or bought with money from a foreigner—those who are not your offspring. 13 Whether born in your household or bought with your money, they must be circumcised. My covenant in your flesh is to be an everlasting covenant. 14 Any uncircumcised male, who has not been circumcised in the flesh, will be cut off from his people; he has broken my covenant.
 * Genesis 17: 9-14

 * Because of the love of woman, circumcision is done; I don't believe in it, O Siblings of Destiny. If God wished me to be a Muslim, it would be cut off by itself. If circumcision makes one a Muslim, then what about a woman?
 * (Bhagat Kabir, Asa, pg. 477)

 * [The] Task Force did recommend making all parents aware of the potential benefits and risks of circumcision and leaving it to the family to decide whether circumcision is in the best interests of their child.
 * Dr Lannon, et al, 1999 AAP Task Force on Circumcision, Pediatrics, 2000

 * Analgesia is safe and effective in reducing the procedural pain associated with circumcision; therefore, if a decision for circumcision is made, procedural analgesia should be provided.
 * Dr Lannon, et al, American Academy of Pediatrics: Circumcision Policy Statement, Pediatrics, 1999

 * The original Biblical circumcision of Abraham's time was a relatively minor ritual circumcision procedure in which only the redundant end of the foreskin extending beyond the tip of the glans was removed. This was called "Milah".
 * James Peron, Circumcision: Then and Now, Many Blessings, Volume III, Pages 41-42, Spring 2000.

 * Following "Milah", a penis so circumcised would still contain a considerable portion of the foreskin and the penis would have continued to go through its natural development since most of the foreskin would have remained intact. Protection of the glans would still have occurred. The foreskin would not be stripped back off the glans and would naturally separate from the glans gradually as the child matures, much as it would had the child not been circumcised. The sensitive frenulum would not have been disturbed or moved, and the foreskin remaining would continue to cover and protect a substantial portion of the glans, especially when flaccid, and the glans would appear as uncircumcised. There would be minimal loss of sensitivity or intended protection. This type circumcision continued throughout the ages and during the time of Christ. The circumcision of Christ would have been this type circumcision as referred to in the bible. Indeed, biblical reference to circumcision is strictly this form of circumcision.
 * James Peron, Circumcision: Then and Now, Many Blessings, Volume III, Pages 41-42, Spring 2000.

 * It has been argued that Michelangelo's David should show David as Circumcised. Interestingly, Michelangelo presented David precisely as he should have appeared following an infant "Milah" circumcision. His glans is essentially covered with only the tip of the glans showing.
 * James Peron, Circumcision: Then and Now, Many Blessings, Volume III, Pages 41-42, Spring 2000.

 * The rabbinate sought to put an end to the practice of youths desiring to appear uncircumcised by stretching the remainding foreskin for social economic benefits and for sports competitions. By introducing the painful and debilitating "Periah" they would obliterate the foreskin completely such that proper circumcised Jew could not disguise "the seal of the covenant". From this point in Jewish history, the male's glans is directly affected by the circumcision procedure, and the denuded glans and traumatized infant will heal with considerable nerve damage and loss of sensitivity. Again, it is important to note that this is not the Covenant circumcision of Abraham defined in the Bible.
 * James Peron, Circumcision: Then and Now, Many Blessings, Volume III, Pages 41-42, Spring 2000.

 * Routine Infant Circumcision was introduced during the late 1800's and throughout the 1900's on the pretext that it offered health and hygiene benefits, would stop the habit of masturbation, and proffered an endless list of presumed cures for a variety of ailments and diseases.
 * James Peron, Circumcision: Then and Now, Many Blessings, Volume III, Pages 41-42, Spring 2000.

 * As one would expect, many of those experienced in the procedure were Jewish physicians and mohels. They taught new physicians to perform the surgical procedure as was practiced by Jewish ritual circumcision procedures. This meant that most infants underwent a fairly radical complete form of circumcision. What was performed was the Jewish "Milah" followed by "Periah", with most if not all of the foreskin being removed and the frenulum either severely damaged or completely removed. This remains the routine infant circumcision procedure to this day. Many males throughout these past decades have suffered the lasting physical, psychological, and sexual dysfunctional consequences of routine circumcision, which they did not choose.
 * James Peron, Circumcision: Then and Now, Many Blessings, Volume III, Pages 41-42, Spring 2000.

 * Bris has a way of erasing the lives of women from the moment we are born. The bris ceremony becomes a major celebration of a boy’s birth, leaving the arrival of a girl ritualistically unnoticed, except in certain Sephardic communities, where there is a centuries-old tradition of honoring the birth of a Jewish daughter. The past generation or two of women have sought to fill in that void, but it’s still an uphill battle. Some expectant grandparents, for example, still wait to make appropriate travel plans based on gender — for a boy, of course they will attend the bris, but for “just” a girl they might not rush to make the trip. In an adult course on the Jewish lifecycle I once taught, I had to use a curriculum with the following chapter titles: “Bris, Bar/ Bat mitzvah, Wedding, Death.” The educators seemed to lack any awareness that there’s more to a birth than the bris. This classic vision of the Jewish lifecycle, emphasizing the bris as the quintessential moment of birth, practically ignores the existence of girl babies and the experiences of women. This dismisses the entire experience of childbirth, as if to say we’re not really celebrating new life — we’re celebrating a new set of male genitals for the Chosen People. Howard Eilberg-Schwartz has written that “Since circumcision binds men between and across generations, it also establishes an opposition between men and women”
 * It is hard to articulate a rational explanation for this practice of making our babies bleed, beyond “That’s what we’ve always done,” and I know how weak an argument that is. Even Harry Brod, noted professor and scholar of masculinities, in an article entitled, “Circumcision and the Erection of Patriarchy,” wrote: “For many Jews, the circumcised penis is the defining mark of being a Jew…. [T]he idea that circumcision confers Jewish identity has a deep and powerful hold on many Jews, even those not otherwise particularly observant.” Even opponents of patriarchy are reluctant to oppose a tradition that seems so essential.
 * It is easy to see this proposed bris ban in light of the narrative of Jewish oppression. As the Jerusalem Post noted in an editorial, “Opposition to brit mila dates back to ancient times. The Romans were particularly hostile to the practice before and after the destruction of the Second Temple. It was seen by the pagan Romans as an attack on the Hellenistic adoration of nature, considered perfect and a reflection of the will of the gods.” As much as it’s hard to explain why bris is so important for Jews, it’s even harder to explain why the practice brings out such hatred among its opponents. It is irrational anti-Semitism rearing its ugly head in the strangest of places — surrounding the genitals of Jewish men.
 * Athena Gorospe, in Narrative and Identity, expounds on this idea around the biblical concept of “circumcision of the heart” (Deut 10:16). “A circumcised heart is associated with the ‘loosening of the neck’…to remove the ‘hardness’ that keeps a person’s emotions, desires, mind, and will from fully surrendering to Yahweh. It is to make the heart ‘the organ of commitment’ more sensitive and responsive to God….Physically, to circumcise is…. to uncover the sheath and expose the organ so that it becomes more sensitive and responsive to touch… to remove anything that hinders the person from being sensitive and responsive to the divine will.” Although the reminder that we all need to be working on self-improvement and developing compassion and sensitivity towards the other is one of the Jewish world views that I most love and connect to, ideas that the male body needs to be curtailed and even “perfected,” that sex is by nature barbaric, and that all our desires need to be restrained, raise some difficult theological and moral questions. And, ironically, it confirms the assertion by proponents of the ban that this procedure is bad for men’s sex lives.
 * While I continue to be troubled by new and creative manifestations of anti-Semitism, the truth is, I’m still not really sure how I feel about the bris. This entire series of events mostly makes me wonder about the centrality of masculinity in our cultures — Jewish and Western. It feels like this entire story is a kind of male turf war, a battle over whose penis is superior. It’s as if the uncircumcised penis is as much of a threat to Jewish identity as the circumcised penis is to Gentiles.
 * Elana Maryles Sztokman, "A Woman’s View of Circumcision", Lilith.org, (Fall 2011).

 * If a man decides he wants to be circumcised, just as if a woman decides she’d prefer a different cup size, then it’s a decision they should be free to make – but only when old enough to make the decision.
 * Michael Marshal, Merseyside Skeptics Society, July 2011

 * I think it should be enough to simply state: all genital mutilation is wrong. I don’t discriminate between which gender should suffer genital mutilation, and which shouldn’t – that very distinction, right there, is the precise definition of sexual discrimination.
 * Michael Marshal, Merseyside Skeptics Society, July 2011

 * Circumcising a baby boy to protect against STDs is like selling your car to make sure he's never injured in a crash.
 * Dr Schwanz, Men's Health, July/August 2002

 * Why is the operation of circumcision practiced? One might as well attempt to explain the rites of voodoo!
 * William Keith C. Morgan, MD The Rape of the Phallus, 1967

 * Circumcision is a solution looking for a problem. The medical profession bears responsibility for the introduction of prophylactic circumcision without scientific basis in the past and for its continued use and rationalization without scientific basis in the present.
 * Edward Wallerstein, Circumcision: An American Health Fallacy, 1980

 * I do not for a moment hesitate to say it right here and in the face of the entire Jewish world that… circumcision is a barbarous cruelty which disfigures and disgraces our ancestral heirloom and our holy mission as priests among mankind. The rite is a national remnant of savage African life… Nor should children born of intermarriage be viewed any longer exclusively by the primitive national standard which determines the racial character of the child only by the blood of the mother… I can no longer accept the fanciful and twisted syllogisms of Talmudic law as binding for us… I think, if anywhere, here we ought to have the courage to emancipate ourselves from the thralldom of Rabbinical legality.
 * Kaufman Kohler as quoted in Walter Jacob, ed., The Pittsburgh Platform in Retrospect: The Changing World of Reform Judaism, (Pittsburgh: Rodef Shalom Congregation Press, 1985)

 * If I was a newborn baby tonight and I could speak and I was asked about circumcision, I would say, "Can you hold off a bit until I can make up my own mind."
 * Roger McClay, New Zealand Commissioner for Children, The first cut, NZ Listener, Nov 17, 2001

 * Where possible, circumcision should not be done until the person is able to give informed consent.
 * Dr Rodger Charlton, June 2001, School of Postgraduate Medical Education University of Warwick, UK, "Men's health - a neglected area?", NZ Family Physician, v28 no3"

 * God designed us, circumcision is blasphemy.
 * Arthur C. Clarke in 3001 (Ch.12)

 * A remedy [for masturbation] which is almost always successful in small boys is circumcision, especially when there is any degree of phimosis. The operation should be performed by a surgeon without administering an anæsthetic, as the brief pain attending the operation will have a salutary effect upon the mind, especially if it be connected with the idea of punishment, as it may well be in some cases. The soreness which continues for several weeks interrupts the practice, and if it had not previously become too firmly fixed, it may be forgotten and not resumed.
 * Dr John Harvey Kellogg, Plain facts for old and young: embracing the natural history and hygiene of organic life, 1877

 * Circumcision is like a substantial and well-secured annuity; every year of life you draw the benefits. Parents cannot make a better paying investment for their little boys.
 * Dr Remondino, The History of Circumcision, 1891

 * Despite overwhelming evidence from urological surgeons that neoplasm of the penis is a lethal disease that can be prevented by removal of the foreskin, some physicians continue to argue against routine circumcision in a highly emotional and aggressive fashion.
 * Dr Dagher, Journal of Urology, 1973

 * The multiple benefits of newborn circumcision are additive over a lifetime and include prevention of cancer of the penis, of balanoposthitis, and protection against the effects of phimosis and poor hygiene as well as prevention of UTI and STD, particularly of HIV.
 * Dr Schoen, et al, Archives of Diseases in Childhood, 1997

 * In an apparent effort to bolster the weak anticircumcision argument, 2 anecdotal beliefs are added to the listed reasons not to choose circumcision: the "protective benefit" of the foreskin on the tip of the penis and the belief that circumcision causes decreased sexual pleasure later in life. Neither of these anecdotal beliefs meets the stated criterion of being evidence-based.
 * Dr Schoen, et al, Pediatrics, 2000

 * Abu Hurayrah said: I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) say: “The fitrah is five things – or five things are part of the fitrah – circumcision, shaving the pubes, trimming the moustache, cutting the nails and plucking the armpit hairs.”
 * Bukhari 5891; Muslim 527

 * Abu al- Malih ibn `Usama's father relates that the Prophet said: "Circumcision is a law for men and a preservation of honour for women."
 * Ahmad Ibn Hanbal 5:75; Abu Dawud, Adab 167.

 * It is said that one day the barbers and circumcision operators kept an account of their performance. They found that the total number of tonsuring and circumcision operations made by them numbered five hundred. Sometimes it would be in the neighbourhood of one thousand. These people were busy from dawn to dusk in these operations. This is how the people were converted and admitted to the Islamic faith.

Hu Jintao

Hú Jǐntāo (胡锦涛; born 21 December 1942) is the former General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party (2002–2012) and President of the People's Republic of China (2003–2013).

White House speech (2006)

 * White House speech (20 April 2006)

 * President George W. Bush, Mrs. Bush, ladies and gentlemen, dear friends. I'm glad to visit the United States in the lovely season of spring, at your invitation, Mr. President. I wish to convey to the great American people the warm greetings and best wishes of the 1.3 billion Chinese people.

 * I have come to enhance dialogues, expand common ground, deepen mutual trust and cooperation, and to promote the all-around growth of constructive and cooperative China-U.S. relations in the 21st century.

 * The Chinese people have always cherished goodwill towards the American people. In 1784, U.S. merchant ship, Empress of China, sailed to China, opening the friendly exchanges between our two peoples. In mid 19th century, several dozen thousand Chinese workers, working side-by-side with American workers and braving harsh conditions, built the great railway linking the East and the West of the American continent.

 * In our common struggle against fascist aggression over 60 years ago, several thousand American soldiers lost their lives in battlefields in China. Their heroic sacrifice still remains fresh in the minds of the Chinese people. Thanks to the concerted efforts made by our two governments and our two peoples over the years, our friendship has grown from strength to strength and yielded rich fruit.

 * The Chinese are industrious, courageous, honest, and intelligent. They created the splendid ancient Chinese civilization. And today, they're firmly committed to the path of peaceful development and are making continuous progress in the modernization drive by carrying out the reform and opening up program.

 * Both China and the United States are countries of significant influence in the world. We share important common strategic interests in a wide range of areas, including economic cooperation and trade, security, public health, energy, and environmental protection, and on major international and regional issues. In particular, mutually beneficial and win-win China-U.S. economic cooperation and trade benefit our two peoples and promote the economic growth in the Asia Pacific region and the world at large. Indeed, they have become an important foundation for China-U.S. relations.

 * We are ready to expand the friendly people-to-people exchanges and enhance exchanges and cooperation in science, technology, culture, education, and other areas.

 * The Chinese and the Americans are great peoples. The Americans are optimistic, full of enterprising drive, down to earth, and innovative. In just over 200 years, they have turned the United States into the most developed country in the world, and made phenomenal achievements in economic development and science and technology.

 * Enhanced interactions and cooperation between China and the United States serve the interests of our two peoples and are conducive to world peace and development. We should stay firmly rooted in the present while looking ahead to the future, and view and approach China-U.S. relations from a strategic and long-term perspective. We should, on the basis of the principles set forth in the three Sino-U.S. joint communiqués, respect each other as equals and promote closer exchanges and cooperation. This will enable us to make steady progress in advancing constructive and cooperative China-U.S. relations, and bring more benefits to our two peoples and people of the world.

 * We are ready to continue to work with the U.S. side and other parties concerned to peacefully resolve the nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula, and the Iranian nuclear issue through diplomatic negotiation to uphold the international non-proliferation regime and safeguard global peace and stability.

 * We are ready to work with the U.S. side in a spirit of seeking mutual benefit and win-win outcomes to properly address each other's concerns and facilitate the sound and the steady growth of bilateral economic cooperation and trade.

 * We will continue to pursue the strategy of boosting domestic demand and ensure fast and balanced economic and social development in China. This will create more opportunities for China-U.S. economic cooperation and trade. We will continue to advance the reform of the RMB exchange rate regime, take positive steps in such areas as expanding market access, increasing imports, and strengthening the protection of intellectual property rights, and further expand China-U.S. economic cooperation and trade.

 * We are ready to expand the friendly people-to-people exchanges and enhance exchanges and cooperation in science, technology, culture, education, and other areas.

 * We are ready to enhance dialogue and exchanges with the U.S. side on the basis of mutual respect and equality to promote the world's cause of human rights.

 * President Bush, you and the U.S. government have stated on various occasions that you are committed to the one-China policy, abide by the three Sino-U.S. joint communiqués, and oppose Taiwan independence. We appreciate your commitments.

 * Taiwan is an inalienable part of Chinese territory. We will continue to make every effort and endeavor with every sincerity to strive for the prospect of peaceful reunification of the two sides across the Taiwan Straits. We will work with our Taiwan compatriots to promote the peaceful development of cross-strait relations. However, we will never allow anyone to make Taiwan secede from China by any means.

 * Ladies and gentlemen, dear friends, the 21st century has entrusted people around the world with a lasting historic mission: That is to maintain world peace, promote common development and create a brighter future for mankind. Let us work together with the international community to build a world of enduring peace, common prosperity and harmony. Thank you once again, Mr. President, for your warm welcome.

China-Africa summit speech (2006)

 * Beijing Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (4 November 2006)

 * Let's join hands and endeavour to promote development in both China and Africa, improve the well-being of our peoples and build a harmonious world of enduring peace and common prosperity.

Curious about edit summaries
I see that you recently made two changes to Albert Einstein in which the edit summaries take an odd form. As I understand it, the MediaWiki software usually inserts an old C-style comment with section headings when one edits only a section, and the user-written explanation is typically added after that. This format allows the page histories to provide a convenient link to the section that was edited, showing the heading in light grey, while the user comment is in black. But those two edits show non-existent section headings with the names: (You can see this by examining the Einstein article's page history.) This makes me suspect that you either manually added  /* */  around your edit summary for some reason, or did a section-edit, but replaced the section heading (between the C markup) with your comments. Did I deduce correctly? If so, please note that you do not need to do this. In fact, it's confusing, as the page history then provides a link to a non-existent section heading. You should simply add your comments after the automatically generated heading comment, or if doing a full-page edit, just type your comments without markup. It's not a major problem, though; I'm mostly just curious if I reasoned correctly.
 * Added passage on religion of fear developing into moral religion (taken from direct photocopy of the NYT Magazine article
 * Passage from letter quoted in Dukas & Hoffman which concludes the book (perhaps owing to its remarkable content)

Whatever the case may be, thank you for your contributions thus far to Wikiquote! ~ Jeff Q (talk) 23:37, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Response to Jeff Q
Thanks, Jeff, for the advice! I am new at this, and just learning the ropes. As soon as time permits, I'll go back and try to get those comments in the standard form. Always happy to receive helpful tips! Cheers... Brett R

 * No problem; we're all new at some point. Three more observations:
 * When adding to an existing topic on a talk page (like above), instead of using the "+" tab to start a new topic, you should just click on the [edit] link to the far right of the topic heading and add your comments below the existing ones. One usually uses indentation (starting each line with 1 colon per indentation) to set new postings off from old ones. (Edit this topic to see how I did this, or take a look at a long discussion page like Village pump to see not only how it's done but why we need to keep topics and indented responses straight.)
 * Don't worry about fixing edit summaries — you can't. They become a part of the database that only developers can change. (Many's the time I've wanted to correct mine, especially when I make an embarrassing tpyo… er, typo.) The main thing to remember is always to make some brief comment on what you edited, to help folks reviewing the edit history to learn what happened without having to page through each change.
 * Use four tildes ( ~ ) as a signature for talk-page postings (not article edits, though). This is automatically converted when you save your edit into both your user ID and a UTC timestamp that makes it clear to all when your made your post. This can be very important in long discussions, and is sometimes required to be taken seriously (e.g., when nominating or voting for articles to be deleted). Best just to get into the habit.
 * You're off to a great start. Explore some of the links provided in the welcome message above, experiment with the sandbox, and feel free to ask me questions on my talk page. Have fun! ~ Jeff Q (talk) 00:24, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

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 Bliks. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Bliks~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 23:19, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

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 Mahmoud. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Mahmoud~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 23:29, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
