A few words about a few quotes...

I came across these quotes, and it struck me how much they apply to our country's situation right now. Both are by Winston Churchill, and I will try to explain as best I can about how they apply to the current happenings.

“The farther backward you can look, the farther forward you can see.” -Winston Churchill : Here, this quote is implying that we should learn from past events. With this Bailout and stock market points dropping dramatically, we should have looked back and saw that a similar event happened before the Depression, which caused the Depression. We could be heading into another Depression, but we will trust the Lord with everything we have.

“A politician needs the ability to foretell what is going to happen tomorrow, next week, next month, and next year. And to have the ability afterwards to explain why it didn't happen.” -Winston Churchill :This is a difficult quote to explain, so comment if you see something wrong. What I think Churchill is getting at, is that a politician needs to be able to see maybe not so good things that are going to happen in the future, and try to prevent them, and explain afterwards what they did to prevent it. But like I said earlier, I wasn't completely sure about this quote.
