Милнер, Альфред цитаты

Альфред Ми́лнер, 1-й виконт Милнер — британский государственный деятель и колониальный администратор, который играл важную роль в формировании внешней и внутренней политики Великобритании в период с середины 1890-х до начале 1920-х годов. Он также был ключевой фигурой в Британской империи, связанной с событиями, приведших к англо-бурской войне 1899—1902 годов и её последствиям, и, находясь на службе в качестве Верховного комиссара, дополнительно стал известен как наставник собрания молодых членов гражданской южноафриканской службы, неофициально известной как «детский сад Милнера» , некоторые из представителей которой в ряде случаях сами стали важными фигурами в управлении Британской империи. В последние годы своей жизни, с декабря 1916 по ноябрь 1918 года, он был одним из самых важных членов военного кабинета Дэвида Ллойд-Джорджа. Wikipedia

Милнер, Альфред: Цитаты на английском языке

“There is only one possible settlement – war! It has got to come… The difficulty is in the occasion and not the job itself, that is very easily done and I think nothing of the bogies and difficulties of settling South Africa afterwards. You will find a very different tone and temper when the center of unrest is dealt with.
— Milner as recorded by Percy FitzPatrick, cited in Diamonds, Gold, and War: The British, the Boers, and the Making of South Africa, 2008, Martin Meredith, p. 374.”
