Conrad Black Quotes

Unionized teachers have destroyed much of the state school system Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Eastern Muslim countries, such as Indonesia and Malaysia, are relative success stories, as they are not afflicted by the Arab heritage of retreat and humiliation at the hands of the French, Spanish, British, Turks, and Persians Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

All my life, Americans have been accustomed to thinking of theirs as ‘the richest, freest’ country in the world. By most measurements, it was long a contender for that honor, and - among the larger countries, if equal weight were given to wealth and indices of freedom - probably did deserve to be so described Picture Quote #1

From the early Seventies to the mid-Eighties, I approached Rome at a snail’s pace. Having concluded that God existed, I could not seriously entertain the thought of not trying to be in contact with Him Picture Quote #1

I don’t have any shame Picture Quote #1

Terrorists cannot threaten the survival of a great nation Picture Quote #1

I made 50 million bucks yesterday. That’s a flameout I could get used to Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Guerrilla wars, and even more so terrorist assaults, are conducted only by forces with insufficient strength to carry out a real war Picture Quote #1

The balance between faith and reason is for the determination of each individual, and of the people as a whole, not of unauthorized government officials uttering impious humbug as they arbitrarily try to define that balance Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

While few judges or prosecutors would be afraid to exercise their perfectly legitimate discretion in favour of an ordinary man, not to mention a minority group member, most would be terrified to exercise the same discretion for someone politically, financially or socially powerful Picture Quote #1

We’re going to try and recruit the very best people we can and produce the best papers we can, and publish them to the highest standards we can Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1
