"It seems, apparently, if the Commissioner of Police wants to do something he has the law behind him. Maybe he has the Army too, I don't know. He has everything I have. I've told him the truth from the very beginning. Obviously the facts are not what he wants to hear."

– Auditor General Larry Dennis, slamming a Police raid on his office as an "over-display of power".

"Tonight we join together like we have never joined together before. We move forward lock-step toward a victory for the people of Bermuda — We move forward solid, solid as the rock!"

– Premier Dr. Ewart Brown speaking during a PLP Banquet in which the date of the election was announced.

"Bermuda has got an awful lot going for it and it would be a shame to see them screw it up. It is a great place and it is so civilized and even within a two-hour flight, so access is easy. Whereas, the Cayman Islands is much further away and not as well developed and the people have a Caribbean mentality and Bermuda is an educated and well-paid society and a highly sustainable economy — it has got the lot really."

– Mark Surrette, president of Nova Scotia-based recruitment agency Roberston Surrette warning that Bermuda's authorities should not make life difficult for the country's financial lifeblood of international businesses.

"I think each individual needs to work with their physician and come up with a plan which is individual to them. This could be done both safely and enjoyably. Now with all the information on the Internet and working with a physician, people can educate themselves. All doctors want to have informed consumers."

– Bermudian Dr. Malcolm Brock, Associate Professor of Surgery in the Division of Thoracic Surgery at Johns Hopkins Medicine in Baltimore.

"Being voted into Opposition was a good thing. It was good for the United Bermuda Party and it was a good for the country. In fact I would say it was one of the best things that ever happened to us. It caused us to reassess who we were and what we meant to the country."

– The then Opposition Leader Michael Dunkley.

"The real issue is will Bermuda survive the next 50 years in a world wide economy as the Bermuda we know. We are sending out a message that we are not really sure if we want to be in business or not. I see places like New York, London, Ireland, Singapore and Cayman and they want to take the businesses from us."

– Former Premier Sir John Swan.
