- "The little men who talk about uniting Britain, the white race, Europe or whatever you prefer, cannot even unite themselves. Any talk of a common fight against a common enemy is treated by them as a sinister plot to undermine their own precious private identities."
- The Right "... is an incohesive mass of jealously squabbling tin-pot Caesars, more concerned with the pursuance of private vendettas than with the aim of ultimate national salvation."
- "Persuasion rather than suppression must be the usual practice. If we are not to have a dictatorship, what we certainly do need is a governing party that can gain ascendancy in British politics of sufficient dimensions, and for a sufficient period of time to attend to the vital tasks uninterrupted until they have become part of the permanent pattern of British life."
- "... British genius and British strength have been paralysed by a poverty of leadership, by archaic political institutions and by naive and flabby political philosophies ... the weakness of Britain today is the product of an intelligentsia which during living memory has been hypnotised by the madness of liberalism and internationalism."
- " ... changes call not merely for a new type of political party but entirely new types of men to take over the nation's destinies ... Given the character, image and psychology of Conservative and Labour Parties, such a prospect seems remote. Long standing class divisions, however irrational, do not appear as if they can be reconciled by the traditional followers of one attaching themselves to the other. Such a reconciliation could only be achieved by a synthesis of both elements in a new political movement which by tradition was identified neither with one class nor the other ... This then is the object ... a new party of the character that can capture a majority following form both sides of the present political spectrum so as to be able to obtain a long and assured term of power necessary to its tasks."
- "In recent years the issues of ... immigration and several spheres of permissive law-making, notably capital punishment and abortion, have provided glaring examples of government by consensus of a liberal minority and without the remotest mandate from the population as a whole. It is a complete mockery of the term 'democratic' to permit government to be carried on in this way. "
- "A complete moral regeneration of the national life" must be made on the organs of public opinion. "Press and television, as well as schools and universities, have become the breeding grounds of all those ideas that are systematically rotting the nation from within ... There is almost no attempt to instil into youth the basic principles of patriotism."
- The welfare state "thwarts every effort to get Britain moving into the 20th century ... Let social security be commensurate with the useful effort that the worker contributes to the prosperity of the nation. Let those who prefer the life of slothful ease suffer for it by hardship, shortage and insecurity until they decide to mend their ways."
- "We have got to get ourselves to producing, as we used to do, young men who are tough and hard. Not only young men with the knowledge and crafts to survive in the modern world, but the physical stamina, the character and the will, to survive."
- "The day that our followers lose their ability to hate will be the day that they lose their power and their will to achieve anything worthwhile at all."
THE VOICE OF REASON Solon, (born c. 630 BCE—died c. 560 BCE), Athenian statesman, known as one of the Seven Wise Men of Greece (the others were Chilon of Sparta, Thales of Miletus, Bias of Priene, Cleobulus of Lindos, Pittacus of Mytilene, and Periander of Corinth). Solon ended exclusive aristocratic control of the government, substituted a system of control by the wealthy, and introduced a new and more humane law code. He was also a noted poet.
