veiled in mist that the opportunities for world-saving decisions present
themselves. -- Winston Churchill

Winston Churchill, on how St. George today would attempt to save a maiden
from the dragon (said in the late 1920s): "St. George ... would propose a
conference with the dragon... Then after making a trade agreement with the
dragon, St. George would lend the dragon a lot of money. The maiden's
release would be referred to the League of Nations of Geneva and finally
St. George would be photographed with the dragon."

Among all my patients in the second half of life -- that is to say, over

not that of finding a religious outlook on life.... This of course has
nothing whatever to do with a particular creed or membership of a
church. -- Carl Gustav Jung
