Favourite quotes
Lord Shagg-Pyle:
I have numerous favourites:
1) "Work is the curse of the drinking classes": Oscar Wilde
2) "They couldn't hit an elephant at this dist........": General John Sedgewick at the the battle of Spotsylvania, American Civil War, after being warned about the abilities of Confederate snipers, and ignoring advice to keep down.
3) "However much you polish a turd, at the end of the day it is still a turd". Anon, but used frequently when politicians try to gloss over a bad event, or when senior Police officers come up with a brand new time saving idea. :roll:
4) "Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few."
Extract from speech by Churchill, 20 August 1940
As true today as it was then. The 'Few' today are all the Armed Forces.
Garin:
You can get much farther with a kind word and a gun than you can with a kind word alone.
Al Capone
