Quotation for Friday 29th May 2020

Good morning everyone,

When researching for today's quotation inspiration I came across this, from Winston Churchill.

“History will be kind to me for I intend to write it.”

I doubt that any one of us intended to write history, and certainly not the history of such a disaster, but here we are in the middle of doing it!

We still refer back to the 1918 flu pandemic and there's absolutely no doubt that in 100 years' time and more, Covid-19 will still be discussed and hopefully long before then, it will be a defunct virus, destroyed or controlled by science.

This has been very tough to live through, and we just don't know for how long it will menace us, but I'm pretty certain that history will be kind to us too. Not only the much maligned politicians who had to make the decisions, good and bad, but the ordinary people who have borne so much with so much fortitude.

So here's a toast to all of us, for being unlucky enough to have to go through this, but to go through it with dignity and hope.

Have a happy day everyone and keep on staying strong! 🙏

Chinese curse - may you live in interesting times. Quotation - history is always written by the victors.. Really beginning to understand what they meant

I've always thought that Chinese saying is especially menacing FredaE. It manages to convey its meaning in such a subtle way! 🤔
