The following quote was written by Sir Winston Churchill in 1951.

“If I had my way, I would write the word ‘insurance’ over the door of every house and upon the blotting book of every man, because I am convinced that for sacrifices that are inconceivably small, families can be secured against catastrophes which otherwise would smash them up forever.

It is our duty to arrest the ghastly waste, not merely of human happiness but of national health and strength which follows when through the death of the bread-winner, the frail boat in which the fortunes of the family are embarked flounders and the women and children are left to struggle helplessly on the dark waters of a friendless world.”

– Sir Winston Churchill, 1951
