“I know politicians are going to be judged on everything they say but sometimes in the heat of discussion you go a little bit further than you would if it was an absolutely calm, considered, prepared, scripted remark. The statements that need to be taken absolutely as gospel truth are those carefully prepared scripted remarks.” IfsKnowsNeedsLittlesSometimesBitsTakenPoliticianLittle BitPreparedCalmStatementsDiscussionHeatJudgedRemarks Author:Tony Abbott
“Cruel and paradoxical though it undoubtedly is, the record shows that yje most succesful 20th century monarchs have been those who were not actually born to succeed. King George VI was 41 when the abdication of Edward VIII propelled him suddenly and unexpectedly to take up the crown; and Queen Elizabeth II spent her first decade with no inkling thay she herself might one day have to reign. Taken together, these examples suggest that the best preparation for the job of sovereign is not to be prepared for it at all, ir not to be too well prepared for it, or for too long.” FirstsWellsLongHas BeensShowsMightTogetherJobsBornTakenRecordsCenturyExampleKingsOne DaySucceedPreparedDecadesPreparationQueensCrownsBe PreparedSovereignReign20th CenturyMonarchsParadoxicalIrsBritish HistoryQueen ElizabethAbdicationElizabeth Ii Author:David Cannadine
