Un bon politicien est celui qui est capable de prédire l'avenir et qui, par la suite, est également capable d'expliquer pourquoi les choses ne se sont pas passées comme il l'avait prédit. (Winston Churchill
I gather, young man, that you wish to be a Member of Parliament. The first lesson that you must learn is, when I call for statistics about the rate of infant mortality, what I want is proof that fewer babies died when I was Prime Minister than when anyone else was Prime Minister. That is a political statistic. (Winston Churchill )
