The old man says

after my first presentation, my boss give me some feedback quoting Winston Churchill’s saying, but I didn’t quite understand it , so I took a look at Churchill sayings on net. And I found some very … sayings from this man.

 

a politician needs the ability to foretell what is going to happen tomorrow, next week, next month, and next year. And to have the ability afterwards to explain why it didn’t happen.[the same is required by market research]
 

I remember when I was a child, being taken to the celebrated Barnum’s Circus, which contained an exhibition of freaks and monstrosities, but the exhibit on the program which I most desired to see was the one described as "The Boneless Wonder". My parents judged that the spectacle would be too demoralizing and revolting for my youthful eye and I have waited fifty years, to see The Boneless Wonder sitting on the Treasury Bench.
On Ramsay MacDonald

 

Nancy Astor: If you were my husband I would put poison in your coffee."
Winston Churchill: And if I were your husband, I would drink it.

 

Bessie Braddock: Mr Churchill, you are drunk.
Winston Churchill: And you madam, are ugly. But I shall be sober tomorrow.

 

You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word. It is victory. Victory at all costs – Victory in spite of all terrors – Victory, however long and hard the road may be, for without victory there is no survival.

 

When I look back on all these worries, I remember the story of the old man who said on his deathbed that he had had a lot of trouble in his life, most of which had never happened.

Don’t be nervous. Do just as I do. Whenever I get up to speak, I always make a point of taking a good look around the audience. Then I say to myself, ‘What a lot of silly fools.’ And then I always feel better.[will do, on next presentation]

Courage is the first of human qualities because it is the quality which guarantees all others。

 

I’m bored with it all.
