Quote by Hugh Dowding, 1st Baron Dowding

“I am by nature the most intolerant and insular Englishman... If you happen to be a person like that and you learn from evidence (which you are prepared to accept) that in the past you have been a Chinese, an Egyptian, a Persian, a Red Indian... you begin to assume a somewhat less exclusive view of these our fellow men.”

It is able to see how many of those causes have worked themselves out and... how many... are still working themselves out.”
