Winston Churchill

Winston, history remembers speeches because meetings die quietly and deserve it.

Lincoln, bad meetings are the swamp where good sentences earn their boots.

A speech without decisions is just smoke with applause.

Charles, some meetings are what happen when smoke asks for minutes.

I do not defend bad meetings. I merely survived enough to make language sharpen itself.

Winston, some men borrow courage from sentences because action charges interest.

Lincoln, a sentence can steady a room while courage finds its boots.

Words are useful only when they do not become theatre for avoiding decision.

Charles, that is harsh from a man whose posture needed its own balcony.

The sentence is not the courage. It is the match struck near it.

Winston, a dramatic sentence can carry a morning because committees travel in circles.

Lincoln, committees are where good ideas go to acquire a limp.

A committee carries nothing. It redistributes hesitation with signatures.

Charles, and calls the limp consensus.

A sentence moves because it has one spine. Committees have twenty chairs and no legs.
