Quotes: Napier, General Sir Charles


Sanctions: 5Sanctions: 5
You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours.
General Sir Charles Napier
Quoted in America Alone, Mark Steyn
