Amit Kalantri
“All worries are less with wine.”
Amit Kalantri, Wealth of Words

Winston S. Churchill
“If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.”
Winston S. Churchill
