I do not at all have the mind...

I do not at all have the mind of a bully... in my mind bullies are intolerant of contrary opinion, domineering and rather cowardly. I would hope that none of those terms could be fairly used in describing me.

Conrad Black 59 quotes

A quest for knowledge is not ...

A quest for knowledge is not a war with faith; spirituality is not usually an infelicitous amalgam of superstition and philistinism; and moral relativism, taken outside midfield, leads inexorably both to heresy and to secular wickedness, which are often identical.

Conrad Black 59 quotes

No one could seriously disput...

No one could seriously dispute that almost all of sub-Saharan Africa, all of North Africa except Morocco, all of the Middle East except Israel and Jordan and most of the oil-rich states, and the entire former British Indian Empire were better governed by Europeans.

Conrad Black 59 quotes

Economics is half psychology ...

Economics is half psychology and half Grade Three arithmetic, and the U.S. does not now have either half right.

Conrad Black 59 quotes

The United States is a proud,...

The United States is a proud, determined, hard-working, talented, patriotic nation and people, and it is not over-extended in the manner of empires of the past that took over the lands of others and eventually collapsed under the weight of the over-ambitious hegemon.

Conrad Black 59 quotes

For all history up to the end...

For all history up to the end of the Cold War, summit meetings were historic and dramatic occasions, when leaders who controlled the destiny of much of the world met to change the world.

Conrad Black 59 quotes

The argument of socialists, t...

The argument of socialists, that people really want to share, beyond a reasonable level of charity, is rubbish, though it is espoused by a lot of rich, pious hypocrites who want to share only enough to avoid widespread starvation, mob violence, and government seizure of more of their incomes.

Although his personality is generally quite agreeable, Mr Murdoch has no loyalty to anyone or anything except his company.

Conrad Black 59 quotes

The vicar of Christ is an individual, not an electorate.

Conrad Black 59 quotes

Private-sector firms are incr...

Private-sector firms are increasingly active in the prison industry and they and the militantly unionized correctional officers, almost all unskilled labor, constantly lead public demands for more criminal statutes and more draconian penalties.

Conrad Black 59 quotes

Unionized teachers have destr...

Unionized teachers have destroyed much of the state school system.

Conrad Black 59 quotes

The greenhouse effect of carb...

The greenhouse effect of carbon-dioxide emissions does produce gentle warming if it is not counteracted by unpredictable natural phenomena, but it cannot be measured directly against the volume of such emissions.

Conrad Black 59 quotes

The American legal industry i...

The American legal industry is a medieval guild in which the prosecutors, bar, and bench join hands to ensure that legal invoices are paid, no matter how excessive.

Conrad Black 59 quotes

At least 80 percent of American prisoners are grossly over-sentenced. The Supreme Court knows this, but shows scant concern for this human side of criminal justice.

Conrad Black 59 quotes

There are some people whose o...

There are some people whose opinion I value and respect and it would be very bothersome if I forfeited their respect. But the general public? I'm not preoccupied with the opinions of others.

Conrad Black 59 quotes

There is no doubt that the se...

There is no doubt that the second President Bush inherited a very serious terrorist threat, though not such a threat as had been represented by the totalitarian Great Powers, Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union.

Conrad Black 59 quotes

Perhaps the gravest under-publicized atrocity in the world is the persecution of Christians.

Conrad Black 59 quotes

There is a legitimate concern...

There is a legitimate concern about wealth distribution in the United States, but the answer is not to scapegoat any individual who makes over $200,000 per year and to try to sell the fraud that the government can equitably take the money of those who have earned it and give it to those who haven't.

Conrad Black 59 quotes

Most American media outlets t...

Most American media outlets that are controlled by Jews seem to be reflexively, or at least habitually, anti-Israel.

Conrad Black 59 quotes

Walter Cronkite was a persona...

Walter Cronkite was a personally decent and convivial man, who literally couldn't kill a fly, was kind to his children, generally helpful to juniors, authentically curious about the news, and, in his time, an energetic reporter.
