Colonial Quotations

I've heard people say South Africans are arrogant, that they act no differently from their colonial masters. That needs to change. It's in your business interest as an entrepreneur to form meaningful partnerships. That's how you do well for your shareholders.

The Catholic Church was the church of the colonial fascist regime.

These wars appear also to have given its death blow to colonialism and to imperialism in its colonial form, under which weaker peoples were treated as possessions to be economically exploited. At least we hope that such colonialism is on the way out.

The brank, or scold's bridle, was unknown in America in its English shape: though from colonial records we learn that scolding women were far too plentiful, and were gagged for that annoying and irritating habit.

We are a mixed up people. We have mixed up ways of naming, too... When my father's brothers and sisters first went to colonial schools, they had to produce a surname. They also had to show they were good Christians by adopting a western name. They adopted my grandfather's name as surname. Wainaina.

Once Europe's colonial empires were sent into deep decline, thanks to World War II, America became globalization's primary replicating force, integrating Asia into its low-end production networks across the second half of the twentieth century - just like Europe had integrated the U.S. before.

Germany can generally only pay if the Corridor and Upper Silesia will be handed back to Germany from Polish possession, and if besides somewhere on the earth colonial territory will be made available to Germany.

The London I entered was a great bustling metropolitan city at war, an imperial power fighting to hold on to that empire. And the teeming colonial subjects of that empire did not, on the whole, want England to lose that war, but they also did not want the empire to emerge unchanged from it. This, for very many of us, was the hard dilemma.

You have to realize that up until about 1959, Africa was dominated by the colonial powers. And by the colonial powers of Europe having complete control over Africa, they projected Africa always in a negative light - jungles, savages, cannibals, nothing civilized.

Would people still use the same demeaning language talking about European gypsies or immigrants? It is fundamentally an old, 19th-century throwback to the idea that that these people are somehow like our ancestors, or backward. It conveys that they are somehow not as intelligent as we are; that they haven't progressed as far as we have. It is fundamentally a colonial mentality.

We are all very pleased that Colonial is once again safely delivering both gasoline and distillates all along our system,

I have long argued that, if China and the United States were interested in pursuing a strategic partnership, Africa is the best place to start, as neither enters the situation with past colonial baggage, and both possess interests that are quite complementary.

The people I admire unreservedly are my parents. They are the real pioneers of Africa in many ways. They were born and raised in rural Africa during the colonial period. They are the ones who came to the U.S. long before I did.

I think to some extent the opportunity to go and take the place of an iconic figure of rock and roll, well, what's the psychology of not wanting to do that? You'll see a kid play air guitar in a garage. It's the same thing. It's easy for these people to get teased, and some behave in ways that they invite it. But I don't think it's intrinsically sick or strange. What is colonial Williamsburg but people in historical drag?

Most of the proceeds from last year's breakfast went to The Clinic. We like the mission of The Clinic. We've helped out other area organizations like The Colonial Theatre and Phoenixville Area Community Services (PACS).

We couldn't hit that little 7- or 8-foot shot for anything. We've played down here twice and have had probably our two worst shooting percentages here at the Colonial Center.

We're returning this river to its colonial days.

The question shouldn't be 'Are we guilty about our colonial past;' it should be 'Why aren't we more guilty about our corporate present'?

The Government of Canada is pleased to be able to respond in a significant way to this new invasion of colonial tunicate. This is an excellent example of how the Governments of Canada and P.E.I. are collaborating to support the province's economy. Not only will this study help the mussel farmers in PEI in the short term, but it will also have long-lasting effects for the future of the industry.

To some degree the colonial conception of government had been affected by the English Commonwealth of 1649, and the English Revolution of 1688.

European countries were colonial masters of several Muslim lands, and the psychological aspects of that relationship have lived on and on. It's difficult for the Belgians, the Danes, the French - it's difficult for them to believe that these former colonies have a religion that is of consequence. They get a kick out of insulting them.

Fantasy is the tendency of Americans, going back to colonial times, to look at the Middle East as a type of fractured mirror of the United States - a type of mirror that could look a lot more like the United States, if, say, a Middle Eastern George Washington would emerge.

Israel's creation was politically amazing and caused by a number of unusual events. And I understand. For centuries, Jews endured horrible suffering, and like other people, deserve the right to self-determination, but the way Israel is going now frightens me. Jews make awkward colonial overlords.

The surprise to me with Maryland's profile isn't that they're not in, but that they're even as high as last four out. The bubble is really bad and most years I think they'd be eight or 10 spots lower than they are.

There's not a team on the bubble that doesn't have serious flaws.

During my 26 years of college coaching, I have had the opportunity to experience exciting games played in great arenas across the country. Capacity crowds cheering for their teams in 'fan-friendly' arenas are what made those atmospheres special. No doubt, The Colonial Center is among the best in all of college basketball ... the place to be for every Gamecock fan!

That's great for the Colonial conference. It's also great for mid-majors. I'm really happy for Mason.

This is probably New England's biggest artistic tradition for most of the Colonial period.

They're a team that's already played in a different venue. They've gone on the road to win a couple games in this tournament, which shows toughness on their part. ? What the Colonial conference has done this season, certainly, this is a team that needs to be reckoned with.

A colonial governor who ran out of countries.

It is, perhaps, not generally known that the Portuguese, as early as 1710, had a fair knowledge of the Amazons; but the information gathered by their Government, from various expeditions undertaken on a grand scale, was long withheld from the rest of the world, through the jealous policy which ruled in their colonial affairs.

It's great one of us is going to the Elite Eight. It's great for the Colonial and great for the Valley.

Nothing is set in stone, but developers are seeming to build these cookie cutter sub-divisions there are not creative. There's no old New England look, like a Colonial worth $300,000 next to a bungalow or another house worth $500,000. They all look the same, and I'd like to see something different, but that's me personally. You can't blame developers trying to make a profit, and you can't stop them. Everything has to be the same because material is bought in bulk.

They are very important. Now we're in a tie. Two games ago we had a two-game lead. In the Colonial Council you have to come ready to play every night.

After the Meiji restoration in 1868, Japan adopted an expansionist and colonial attitude towards its neighbours. It sought to identify itself with the West and looked down upon the Asian continent as backward and inferior. For most of the next 70 years, Japan was at war, mainly with its neighbours.

I learned my first life lessons about how to treat a wife and family from Johnnie. When he would leave his house on Colonial Court, he would always give his wife (Margaret) a hug and a kiss, and he'd slap both boys (Matt and John) over the head to assure them he loved them.

I'm reading where the Colonial Pipeline, which brings product from that area up to North Carolina and up the coast, it's shut down because of loss of product, ... That means some of these terminals where we pick up could possibly be out. Major and independent refineries have passed on anywhere from 10-cent to 30-cent increases in the last 36 hours.

I'm hearing all this about the Missouri Valley getting three, four five teams in and the Colonial is going to get two or three.

I guess now that Georgia State has left the Atlantic Sun and moved to the Colonial (Athletic Association) and we're now in the Atlantic Sun, I can see it growing into a rivalry.

It helped spread far and wide the basic values of freedom, democracy, equality, justice and peace, and promoted in a big way the awakening of the people of all countries, especially those of colonial and semi-colonial countries, thus exerting a sustaining influence on the development of human civilization.

I doubt if the average Englishman felt himself as much oppressed by Charles I as by the plague; or if any colonial American was as much in dread of taxation without representation as of smallpox.

Colonial makes it a priority to be a good neighbor in the Midlands to be the company people in the community want to partner with.

The magnitude of the weekend hasn't sunk in. It's going to take some time to absorb all this. I think it's pretty clear that parity is here, much more parity than people realize or believe.
