A great man has died today.

But we should not mourn what has been lost. Rather, let us celebrate what has been accomplished.

Tonight, I expect you all to go forth, sit down and watch the greatest of Sir Sean Connery's films. His masterpieces. Works of art that shall never be forgotten, whose appreciation will only rise with every new generation.

I for one intend to do just that. Ladies and gentlemen, I invite you to sit down with me and watch this master of his craft at his very best and greatest.

Tonight, we shall watch Sir Sean Connery in Zardoz:

I always like the story about Johnny Stompanato, the gangster Mickey Cohen's bodyguard, who was in a violent relationship with Lana Turner, became jealous of Turner and Connery's relationship during the filming of Another Time, Another Place. Stompanato flew to London, stormed on set, and threatened Connery with a gun. Connery just calmly bent his hand back and took the gun off him.

The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

The most fundamental problem of politics is not the control of wickedness but the limitation of righteousness.

People keep doing this imitation of him. While he did have a tendency in this direction, it could have been much worse. He said he had such a thick Scots accent in his youth that some actors he worked with early on thought he was Polish.
