“Never confuse sitting on your side with being on your side.”

To Jeremy Hanley, who had introduced himself to Paisley saying "How do you do? I did not realise that you were on our side."http://www.parliament.the-stationery-office.com/pa/cm199091/cmhansrd/1990-11-07/Debate-2.html

“There's a silence in this house today. There's a silence all over Northern Ireland today. There's grieving and there is despair.

He made one of the greatest speeches I've ever heard from any of the cloth and he really said in Down to everyone that he did not want in his parish anybody like these men who did this task. And those of us who know Northern Ireland know that it takes some show of strength in a place like Antrim to say those words… We're coming up to St. Patrick's Day. St. Patrick preached the gospel of Jesus Christ in Ireland. And I was just thinking today, the only thing these murderers have done: they have desecrated the shamrock by trying to pour the blood of their innocent victims upon it.”
