Quote for the Week, June 20-24, 2011
Here is a quote that brings perspective to frustrating events and outcomes which did not come out as expected or hoped for. It is one of my favorites of all time.
"When the situation was manageable it was neglected, and now that it is thoroughly out of hand, we apply too late the remedies which then might have effected a cure. There is nothing new in the story. It is as old as the Sibylline books. It falls into that long dismal catalogue of the fruitlessness of experience and the confirmed unteachability of mankind.
Want of foresight, unwillingness to act when action would be simple and effective, lack of clear thinking, confusion of counsel until the emergency comes, until self-preservation strikes its jarring gong - these are the features which constitute the endless repetition of history."
--Winston Churchill, May 2, 1935.
