Из цитат Сесиля Родcа, официального основателя алмазодобывающей компании De Beers, выдающегося теоретика и практика британского империализма:

* “Pure philanthropy is very well in its way but philanthropy plus five percent [profit] is a good deal better.”

* "I contend that we are the first race in the world, and that the more of the world we inhabit the better it is for the human race...If there be a God, I think that what he would like me to do is paint as much of the map of Africa British Red as possible..."

* "In order to save the forty million inhabitants of the United Kingdom from a bloody civil war, our colonial statesmen must acquire new lands for settling the surplus population of this country, to provide new markets... The Empire, as I have always said, is a bread and butter question"

* "Remember that you are an Englishman, and have consequently won first prize in the lottery of life."
