John Rhys-Davies: Citations en anglais

“We have lost our moral compass completely, and unless we find it, we’re going to lose our civilization.”

John Rhys-Davies

Contexte: There is an extraordinary silence in the West. Basically, Christianity in the Middle East and in Africa is being wiped out – I mean not just ideologically but physically, and people are being enslaved and killed because they are Christians. And your country and my country (Wales) are doing nothing about it.... This is a unique age. We don't want to be judgmental. Every other age that's come before us has believed exactly the opposite. I mean, T. S. Eliot referred to 'the common pursuit of true judgement.' Yes, that's what it's about. Getting our judgments right, getting them accurate.... We have lost our moral compass completely, and unless we find it, we’re going to lose our civilization. I think we're going to lose Western European Christian civilization anyway.

“Many do not understand how precarious Western civilisation is and what a joy it is.”

John Rhys-Davies

As quoted in &quot;Welsh star in race row&quot;, by WalesOnline (18 January 2004) http://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/welsh-star-in-race-row-2453957 <br class="br">Contexte: Many do not understand how precarious Western civilisation is and what a joy it is. From it, we get real democracy. From it, we get the sort of intellectual tolerance that allows me to propound something that may be completely alien to you. I&#x27;m burying my career so substantially in these interviews that it&#x27;s painful. But I think there are some questions that demand honest answers.

“Western Christianised Europe has values and experience that is worth defending.”
