a couple of great Churchillian notes--
Just fun today: two examples of Churchill’s wit.
From Steven F. Hayward’s Churchill on Leadership: Executive Success in the Face of Adversity:
Concerning Arthur Balfour [,Prime Minister from 1902 to 1905,] Churchill remarked: “If you wanted nothing done, Arthur Balfour was the best man for the task. There was no one equal to him.” …
[When Clement Attlee was Prime Minister and Churchill was Leader of the Opposition, Attlee was preparing for a trip abroad. Churchill said that] “no doubt [Attlee's] afraid the when the mouse is away the cats would play.” (pg. 5)
