“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

“There is no word or action but may be taken with two hands,--either with the right hand of charitable construction, or the sinister interpretation of malice and suspicion; and all things do succeed as they are taken. To construe an evil, action well is but a pleasing and profitable deceit to myself; but to misconstrue a good thing is a treble wrong,--to myself, the action, and the author.” WellsMayTwoHandsActionEvilTakenSucceedAll ThingsGood ThingsDeceitInterpretationConstructionSuspicionProfitableMaliceCharitableSinisterTwo Hands Book:The Works of Joseph Hall: Devotional works; Miscellaneous theology Source: The Works of Joseph Hall: Devotional works; Miscellaneous theology
