“What we face is a threat to our whole way of life”
Conservative Party television broadcast “Winter of Discontent” (17 January 1979) http://www.margaretthatcher.org/document/103926
Leader of the Opposition
Context: If the past is any guide, what has happened this winter could happen again next winter and the winter after that and so on and so on. What we face is a threat to our whole way of life... The case is now surely overwhelming, there will be no solution to our difficulties which does not include some restriction on the power of the unions.
“The whole of life is but a moment of time. It is our duty, therefore to use it, not to misuse it.”
Moralia, Of the Training of Children
Variant: The whole life of man is but a point of time; let us enjoy it, therefore, while it lasts, and not spend it to no purpose.
