Frank Says:



Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy;
its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery. -

yeah..amazing how often he "got it"--his comments on Mohammedans were right on the money too.
(from his book "The River War" I think. I'll look for it)

Here 'tis:
"'How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity.'"

From his book "The River War"

There has been a really good TV series about Winston's bodyguard.
Highly recommend it.
