Winston Churchill Statements
Jul 26, 2013 15:39:51 #
Quid Pro Quo, CrazyHorse: I have been asked to post up some Churchill sayings on the chit-chat thread. I have a ton of Churchill sayings, some of which are attributed, some of which are not. Some things Churchill probably said were not recorded anywhere, except someone said he said it, or it was just generally recognized he said it. I will leave it to the reader to make up his or her own mind. Some statements sound like Churchill although they have no attribution. Since he was known to be a straightforward man, you can probably conclude that if he thought it, he probably said it. So, I'll leave it to you to decide, and I will probably attempt to post up a few every day for a while to see how it goes. Here is your first dose:
"If you wanted nothing done, Arthur Balfour, was the best man for the task. There was no one equal to him." Churchill by Himself, p. 572. Yes, I think he would have said that.
"Well, dinner would have been splendid if the wine had been as cold as the soup, the beef as rare as the service, the brandy as old as the fish, and the maid as willing as the Duchess." Id. at 574. No doubt.
"I am a man of simple tastes - I am quite easily satisfied with the best of everything." Id. at 579. Yep.
"This hotel is a great trial to me. Yesterday morning I had half-eaten a kipper when a huge maggot crept out & flashed his teeth at me! To-day I could find nothing nourshing for lunch but pancakes. Such are the trials which great & good men endure in the service of their country." Id. at 539. 1909, 17 October, Queen's Hotel, Dundee.
Well there is your fix for today. Maybe I'll try again tomorrow.

Idlers: We cannot afford to have idle people. Idlers at the top make idlers at the bottom. No one must stand aside in his working prime to pursue a life of selfish pleasure. There are wasters in every class. But anyhow we cannot have a band of drones in our midst, whether they come from the ancient aristocracy or the modern plutocracy or the ordinary type of pub crawler. 1943, 21 March, Broadcase, London. (Onwards, 39.) Id. at 412.
Immigration: How was the Aliens Bill passed? It was introduced to the House of Commons in a tumbril. They began debating it on the steps of the scaffold, and before two days had passed in Committee they were hurried to the frame-work of the guillotine. 1905, 31 July. Id. 413.
Industry, management: Management by whom? Is it to be managed by business men under all the inducements of profit and all the penalties of bankruptcy, or is it to be management by politicians interested in their careers or prejudiced by their Party doctrines, but otherwise not specially distinguished - or, I should say, who otherwise have their distinction yet to win - who are assisted in their task by officials themselves impartial in the sense that it makes no difference to them whether the industry show a profit or a loss? 1948, 16 November. Id. at 413.
Insurance, Life: The only anxiety which the Socialists have about nationalizing life insurance is whether it will lose them support among the very large number of insurance agents... What they now seek is the control of the vast sum of money which represents the savings over many years of millions of people to provide by self-denial and forethought, for their widows, their orphans and their own old age or infirmity. The control over this great mass of investiments would be another most powerful means of bringing the whole financial, economic and industrial life of Britain into Socialist hands. 1950, 28 January, Woodford, Essex. (Balance, 167.) Id. at 414.
Keynesian economics: The idea that you can vote yourself into prosperity is one of the most ludicrous tht ever was entertained. 1944, 7 September, RMS Queen Mary, En Route to Second Quebec Conference. (Colville, Fringes II, 139.) Id. at 415.
The idea that a nation can tax itself into propserity is one of the crudest delusions which has ever fuddled the human mind. 1948, 21 April. The Royal Albert Hall, London, (Europe, 301.) Id. at 415.

I love the reply to George Bernard Shaw. Maybe that is because I have heard from Glen Beck that Shaw was one of the early progressives and even worse.

Things he probably would have said anyway but no verification that he ever did !!
Keep it going boys , you're on a roll ........and there's nothing new under the sun , the same is done with Washington Jefferson and Franklin , and the quotes vary according to political stripe .
How easy to extrapolate the practice to "present day politicians " :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
