Africa is still lying ready for us it is our duty to take it. It is our duty to seize every opportunity of acquiring more territory and we should keep this one idea steadily before our eyes that more territory simply means more of the Anglo-Saxon race more of the best the most human, most honorable race the world possesses.

If there be a God, I think he would like me to paint Africa British-Red as possible.

I contend that we are the finest race in the world and that the more of the world we inhabit the better it is for the human race. Just fancy those parts that are at present inhabited by the most despicable specimens of human beings what an alteration there would be if they were brought under Anglo-Saxon influence, look again at the extra employment a new country added to our dominions gives.

To think of these stars that you see overhead at night, these vast worlds which we can never reach. I would annex the planets if I could; I often think of that. It makes me sad to see them so clear and yet so far.

When people praise you, don't let it go to your head. When they criticize you, don't let it go to your heart.

I have found out one thing and that is, if you have an idea, and it is a good idea, if you only stick to it you will come out all right.

Wherever you turn your eye—except in science—an Oxford man is at the top of the tree.
