Winston Churchill
Image
When you're 20 you care what everyone thinks, when you're 40 you stop caring what everyone thinks, when you're 60 you realize no one was ever thinking about you in the first place. You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life.
Winston Churchill
Image
Now that we are, as you say, 'in the same boat,' would it not be wise for us to have another conference ... and the sooner the better.
