David Lloyd George
What do you want to be a sailor for? There are greater storms in politics than you will ever find at sea. Piracy, broadsides, blood on the decks. You will find them all in politics.
David Lloyd George

David Lloyd George
Wisdom is like a baobab tree no one individual can embrace it.
David Lloyd George
If you want to understand a subject promise to speak on it.
David Lloyd George
