QUOTES TO CONTEMPLATE

Over the coming months I intend to present for your contemplation a series of quotes that have stood the test of time. Please give them some serious thought, because they just could assist you in reaching sound conclusions that may impact your life going forward.

The following are all attributed to SIR WINSTON CHURCHILL:

“Some see private enterprise as a predatory target to be shot, others as a cow to be milked, but few are those who see it as a sturdy horse pulling the wagon.”

“We contend that for a nation to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.”

“If you have ten thousand regulations, you destroy all respect for the law.”

“The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of the blessings. The inherent blessing of socialism is the equal sharing of misery.”

“Do not suppose that this is the end. This is only the beginning of the reckoning. This is the first sip, the first foretaste of the bitter cup which will be proffered to us year by year unless by a supreme recovery of moral health and martial vigor, we arise again and take our stand for freedom as in the olden time.”

“We have not journeyed across the centuries, across the oceans, across the mountain, across the prairies, because we are made of sugar candy.”

That is enough for one day, but there are plenty more to come in the ensuing weeks.
