    "I don't like the President of the Irish Republic because she is dishonest" - his description of the former President Mary McAleese.

    "Mr Adams would have to repent from his evil ways. I am here tonight by the grace of *, a sinner saved by grace" - New York, 1994, when asked if he would shake Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams's hand.

    "Talk about dancing at Christmas on the graves of Ulster dead, and to be given the facility so to dance by the British Prime Minister ... Here we saw the godfathers of those who planned the bombing of Downing Street, standing outside there and piously pretending they were engaged in a search for peace" - reacting to the Downing Street meeting of Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams and British Prime Minister Tony Blair in December 1997.

    "I denounce you, Antichrist! I refuse you as Christ's enemy and Antichrist with all your false doctrine" - addressing Pope John Paul II on a visit to the European Parliament October 1988.

    "This Romish man of sin is now in *! - on the death of Pope John XXIII.

    "The IRA's bishop from Crossmaglen" - describing the then head of the Catholic Church in Ireland, Tomás Ó Fiaich.

    "Line dancing is as sinful as any other type of dancing, with its sexual gestures and touching. It is an incitement to *."

    "No surrender. We will never bend the knee" - a regular cry aimed at those he believed were ready to "betray" Ulster.

    "Protect us from the shackles of priestcraft" - late 1970s in an attack on the Catholic Church.

    "The breath of Satan is upon us" - his remark when he entered a Belfast press conference in a smoke-filled, whisky-sodden hall in the mid-1970s.

    "Let me smell your breath first, son" - Paisley's regular request to reporters, whom he suspected of drinking, before he would allow them to interview him.

    "The devil's buttermilk" - his description of alcoholic drinks, chiefly Guinness.

    "This is the spark which kindles a fire there could be no putting out" - his criticism of a diversion ordered by the police of a "provocative" Orange Order march.

    "Because it would be hard for you to poison them" - when asked why he had chosen boiled eggs for breakfast during a top-level meeting at the Irish Embassy in London.

    "No, I wouldn't" - his response to John Hume, an SDLP politician who said that if the word "no" were removed from the English language, Paisley would be speechless.

    "I would never repudiate the fact that I am an Irishman" - June 1991.

    The young/middle aged bitter hate filled Ian paisley was not the same as the elderly man,I truly believe he saw the error in his hate filled anti catholic days of old.
    How-his friend ship with Martin mc Guinness,his friend ship with priests,how he spoke of a peaceful Ireland for all.
    The man had the blood of innocent Catholics on his hands,he may not have pulled the trigger,but invited others to do .
    I may have hated you when I was younger,now I just just cannot bring my self to
    Laugh or smile at his passing.
    Put him in the earth and be done with it.

    I remember my mum telling me about a time he came storming into her local Catholic church shouting his mouth off, this was about 20 odd years ago but some old lady tripped him up on the way out and the whole congregation laughed at him.

    He had blood on his hands with that Shankill speech but then again a fair few of the people of that time- on all sides have blood on their hands. He was such a powerful speaker I did not like what he had to say but he got my attention. He gained some respect when he went into a Catholic church in his later years and preyed with a Catholic family that had lost family member because they were killed in a random attack I think by Rangers fans on old firm day. I don't feel any hate towards him in death I just feel sad for the hate he and others caused during the troubles.

    Growing up at the height of the troubles, Paisley was on tv a lot. My ma used to say to me there's your uncle Ian. So from around the age 2 to about 7 I though this * was my uncle!:47:
