# Henry Labouchère

## Quotes

* Democrats are told that they are dreamers, and why? Because they assert that, if power be placed in the hands of the many, the many will exercise it for their own benefit Is it not a still wilder dream to suppose that the many will in future possess power, and use it not to secure what they consider to be their interests, but to serve those of others? Is it imagined that artisans in our great manufacturing towns are so satisfied with their present position that they will hurry to the polls to register their votes in favor of a system which divides us socially, politically, and economically, to classes, and places them at the bottom with hardly a possibility of using? Is the lot (of the agricultural labourer) so happy a one that he will humbly and cheerfully affix his cross to the name of the man who tells him that it can never be changed for the better? We know that artisans and agricultural labourers will approach the consideration of political and social problems with fresh and vigorous minds For the moment, we demand the equahsation of the franchise Our next demands will be electoral districts, cheap elections, payment of members, and abolition of hereditary legislators When our demands are complied with, we shall be thankful, but we shall not rest On the contrary, having forged an instrument for democratic legislation, we shall use it.
** Fortnightly Review (March 1, 1883); cited from Henry James Sumner Maine, popular government, p.64

## Quotes about Henry Labouchère

* I recall a phrase of that incorrigible cynic Labouchere, alluding to Mr. Gladstone's frequent appeals to a higher power, that he did not object to the old man always having a card up his sleeve, but he did object to his insinuating that the Almighty had placed it there.
** Lord Curzon, Modern Parliamentary Eloquence: The Rede Lecture, delivered before the University of Cambridge, November 6, 1913 (1914), p. 25
* Labouchere was the incurable cynic who mocked, at everybody, including himself.

# George Wyndham

George Wyndham PC (29 August 1863 – 8 June 1913) was a British Conservative politician, statesman, man of letters, and one of The Souls.

## Quotes

* Gordon's journals are splendid, I delight in an eccentric man upsetting the odds which routine, formality, "Foreign" and other offices always have on their side, and making the latter appear ridiculous.
** Letter to his sister, Mary Elcho (25 July 1885), quoted in Letters of George Wyndham 1877–1913, Vol. I (1915), p. 96
* I must say that in my judgment Swinburne's claims are immeasurably superior to those of any Englishman now living... Please read in the Volume I send, published two years ago, the 'Seamew,' the 'Jacobite's Exile,' the 'Threnody on Inchbold,' and 'The Commonweal,' his Jubilee Ode, and then consider whether any can touch him as a Poet. I believe that in the long run Public opinion will be more shocked by his neglect than by his recognition.
** Letter to Mrs. Drew (October 1892), quoted in Letters of George Wyndham 1877–1913, Vol. I (1915), pp. 283-284

## Quotes about George Wyndham

* Lord Pembroke and George Wyndham were the handsomest of the Souls.
** Margot Asquith, The Autobiography of Margot Asquith (1920), p. 185
* Wyndham was enthusiastic, he was a Romantic, he was an Imperialist, and he was quite naturally a literary pupil of W. E. Henley. Wyndham was a scholar, but his scholarship is incidental; he was a good critic, within the range allowed him by his enthusiasms; but it is neither as Scholar nor as Critic that we can criticize him. We can criticize his writings only as the expression of this peculiar English type, the aristocrat, the Imperialist, the Romantic, riding to hounds across his prose, looking with wonder upon the world as upon a fairyland.
** T. S. Eliot, The Sacred Wood: Essays on Poetry and Criticism (1920), pp. 24-25
* [H]e had been in high favour with Balfour, although the rank and file had never cottoned to his dandified and over-polished parliamentary manners, which led one Tory member to mutter in my hearing, after one of Wyndham's Burke-conscious perorations, "Damn that fellow; he pirouettes like a dancing master."
** Viscount Lee of Fareham, ‘A Good Innings’: The Private Papers of Viscount Lee of Fareham P.C., G.C.B., G.C.S.I., G.B.E., ed. Alan Clark (1974), p. 128
# Augustine Birrell

Augustine Birrell (19 January 1850 – 20 November 1933) was an English essayist, biographer and politician.

## Quotes

* That great dust-heap called ‘history’.
** "Carlyle", in Obiter Dicta (1884)

### In the Name of the Bodleian, and Other Essays (1905)

* A great library easily begets affection, which may deepen into love.
** "In the Name of the Bodleian"
* It is pleasant to be admitted into the birth-chamber of a great idea destined to be translated into action.
** "In the Name of the Bodleian"
* We do not get many glimpses of Bodley's habits of life or ways of thinking, but there is no difficulty in discerning a strenuous, determined, masterful figure, bent during his later years, perhaps tyrannously bent, on effecting his object. He was not, we learn from a correspondent, 'hasty to write but when the posts do urge him, saying there need be no answer to your letters till more leisure breed him opportunity.' 'Words are women, deeds are men,' is another saying of his which I reprint without comment.
** "In the Name of the Bodleian"
* Great is bookishness and the charm of books.
** "Bookworms"
* Personally, I am dead against the burning of books.
** "Bookworms"
* Oh, those scoundrelly Charity Commissioners! […] By the side of these anthropoid apes, the genuine bookworm, the paper-eating insect, ravenous as he once was, has done comparatively little mischief.
** "Bookworms"
* There were no books in Eden, and there will be none in heaven.
** "Gossip in a Library"
* There are no habits of man more alien to the doctrine of the Communist than those of the collector.
** "Gossip in a Library"
* It can never be wrong to give pleasure.

** On Labour's 1970 general election campaign, quoted in his obituaries in the Guardian, and Independent
* I always think that it is entirely wrong to prejudge the past.
   * On his arrival as Northern Ireland's Secretary of State, cited in his obituary in The Guardian

** From a speech in Birmingham (8 August 1977) during the Ladywood by-election campaign, cited in The Times (9 August 1977), p. 2

## Quotes about Whitelaw

* Encountered Willie Whitelaw at dinner. He came in rather late and then started to tell me how absolutely ghastly life was with that awful woman, how he was thinking of resigning (from the Shadow Cabinet), what was my advice, etc. So I said, "On the whole, don't resign, Willie." "Oh, good," he said. "No, don't resign," I said, "but distance yourself." "Quite right, quite right," he said, "quite right. It's better not to resign, but distance myself. That's right." A long and typical conversation with him, not to be taken too seriously.
** Roy Jenkins, diary entry (2 February 1978), quoted in Roy Jenkins, European Diary, 1977–1981 (1989), p. 215
* Every prime minister needs a Willie.
** Margaret Thatcher, quoted in his obituary in The Guardian
# Austronesian languages

The Austronesian languages (/ˌɔːstrəˈniːʒən/) are a language family widely spoken throughout Maritime Southeast Asia, Malay Peninsula, parts of Mainland Southeast Asia, Madagascar, the islands of the Pacific Ocean and Taiwan (by Taiwanese indigenous peoples).

## Quotes

* Another reason for not relying too much on the theories of the linguists is that Austronesian linguistics is a very demanding field, comprising the study of hundreds of small languages most of which have no literature, so the number of genuine experts is far smaller than in the case of IE, and even in the latter case linguists are nowhere near a consensus on the homeland question. Linguistic evidence is very soft evidence, and usually the data admit of more than one historical reconstruction, so I don't think there is any compelling evidence against a Sundaland homeland hypothesis. Conversely, archaeological and genetic evidence in favour of the spread of the Austronesian-speaking populations from Sundaland seems to be sufficient.
** Elst K. Asterisk in bharopiyasthan: Minor writings on the Aryan invasion debate (2007)
* It is quite certain that some of these Austronesians must have landed in India, some on their way to Madagascar, some to stay and mix with the natives. Hence the presence of some Austronesian words in Indian languages of all families, most prominently ayi/bayi, "mother" (as in the Marathi girls' names Tarabai, Lakshmi-bai etc.), or words for "bamboo", "fruit", "honey". More spectacularly, linguists like Isidore Dyen have discerned a considerable common vocabulary in the core lexicon of Austronesian and Indo-European, including pronouns, numerals (e.g. Malay dua, "two") and terms for the elements. Oppenheimer doesn't go into this question, but diehard invasionists might use his findings to suggest an Aryan invasion into India not from the northwest, but from the southeast.
** Elst K. Asterisk in bharopiyasthan: Minor writings on the Aryan invasion debate (2007)
* It is a time to express our (computational) language through math: sentences with variables, paragraphs with equations, and language context with formulas.

* My ministry had not received any complaints from workers working for Chinese businesses but would get details from Lusaka Mayor Miles Sampa on the Chinese companies that were forcing employees to stay on their premises in a bid to avoid them being exposed to the Coronavirus.
* If the current generation was the one that existed during the liberation struggle, the country would still be under colonial rule because today’s workers had too much fear of the unknown.
* Now if we are going to be cowards, then we are not going to implement anything. The generation of today, if it was the generation which was there to gain independence, by now, we could still have been under colonial rule because people are scared of the unknown. Now us as Ministry of Labour, we are not God; as minister, I won’t guess what is happening in Kafue, I am not a super human being. So that’s why relationships between employer and employee, the most important thing is communication, we should communicate to each other. So I am appealing to all the workers to know their rights and communicate to us, we even have a toll line now, we have told them they can call us on a toll line and tell us. If they are cowards, they should tell us that this is the employer and this is how we are working without necessarily them telling us their name, we have done all that.
* So those people have not reported to us, we don’t know the workers, we haven’t seen them. Anyway, for the mayor, yes he apologized and I think our Labour Commissioner will be getting the details from him but we haven’t heard anywhere else. That is also the only one we saw but what I am saying is workers have the right to report the employer if that employer is forcing them to do what is not in the labour laws. They have a right to report to our ministry or utilize the District Commissioners, they are there and they have been very active to help us on issues of labour.
