(E) Men of ability and enthusiasm
… koji su stvarali najveci imperij u povijesti covjecanstva (kojega je
alkoholik Churchill srusio sa svojom malom grupom pristasa).
Men of ability and enthusiasm who find no suitable way to serve their
country under the current political system; able youth recruited from the
schools and universities; men of wealth with no aim in life; younger sons
with high thoughts and great aspirations but without opportunity; rich men
whose careers are blighted by some great disappointment. All must be men of
ability and character. … Rhodes envisages a group of the ablest and the
best, bound together by common unselfish ideals of service to what seems to
him the greatest cause of the world. There is no mention of material
rewards. This is to be a kind of religious brotherhood like the Jesuits, “a
church for the extension of the British Empire.”
… take Constitution of the Jesuits if obtainable and insert ‘English
Empire’ for ‘Roman Catholic Religion’. (1875.)

Personally I have no political interest worth mentioning, except the
maintenance of the Imperial connection, and I look upon the future with
alarm. … I can see no remedy or protection, under the present
circumstances, except a powerful body of men—and it would have to be very
powerful—determined at all times and under all circumstances to vote and
work, regardless of every other circumstance, against the man or party who
played fast and loose with the cause of National Unity. You can be sure that
for my own part I shall always do that. … (1904.)

Koliko mnogo vise od toga trebaju oni koji se zalazu za golu egzistenciju
svoje nacionalne drzave!
