Quotes by Michael Barber (?)

“Crises will come and go in all countries, more often in some than in others; at these moments, someone has to lead, has to make sure that while the crisis is addressed, it doesn’t overwhelm the pre-existing agenda for change. Allow that, and failure beckons. Hence Harold Macmillan’s famous lament about why he had not achieved more: ‘Events, dear boy! Events.”
― Michael Barber, How to Run A Government: So that Citizens Benefit and Taxpayers Don't Go Crazy

“George Bernard Shaw made the point best: ‘The reasonable man adapts himself to the conditions that surround him … The unreasonable man adapts the surrounding conditions to himself … All progress depends on the unreasonable man.”

“A common caricature of Catholic teaching is that it rejects the notion of salvation by grace and affirms instead that salvation is simply by works. Nothing could be further from the truth.”
