David Lloyd George

Anything can be achieved in small, deliberate steps. But there are times you need the courage to take a great leap. You can’t cross a chasm in two small jumps.

If you listen to the neverdo's, it's never done.

The finest eloquence is that which gets things done; the worst is that which delays them.

One day while Lloyd George was making a political speech before a big crowd, a heckler yelled, "Wait a minute, Mr. George. Isn't it true your grandfather used to peddle tinware around here in an oxcart hauled by a donkey?" Lloyd George replied, "I digress just a moment and thank the gentlemen for calling that to my attention. It is true, my dear old grandfather used to peddle tinware with an old cart and a donkey. As a matter of fact, after this meeting is over, if my friend will come with me, I will show him that old cart, but I never knew until this minute what became of the ass."

Great men sometimes lose the reins and lose their heads. This time, let us hope that they will retain them and that when victory is assured they will sit down and reckon what the future is going to be for their countries as well as for other lands.

Don't be afraid to take a big step if one is indicated; you can't cross a chasm in two small jumps.
