W. A. C. Bennett, fully William Andrew Cecil Bennett

Canadian Premier of Province of British Columbia

"Blessed are they who have reached the point of no return, and knows it, for they shall enjoy living."

"A wise father doesn’t see everything."

"Government and business are simple. It's only people that make them complicated."

"The Socialist Hoardes are at the gates of British Columbia!"

"The finest sound in the land is the ringing of cash registers."

"We are a young country; we must build on the solid rock of sound economic policies and balanced budgets. But, we must be prepared, as a nation, to step from the solid rock onto new ground. The path of ease, the path of tradition alone, is not the path of a greater Canada."

"I couldn't give it away, so we decided to build it and run it. [on the British Columbia Railway]"
