“What would have been the position to-day on South Africa if there had not been a man prepared to take upon himself responsibility; a man whom difficulties could not conquer, whom dissenters could not cow, and whom obloquy could not move?”

What It Means

This is a placeholder explanation generated by the low-overhead model. It interprets "“What would have been the position to-day on South Africa if there had not been a man prepared to take upon himself responsibility; a man whom difficulties could not conquer, whom dissenters could not cow, and whom obloquy could not move?”" in the context of "George Goschen, speaking in the House of Lords, 29 March 1906. Link" to mean that wisdom is timeless.
