Words of Wisdom Regarding Insurance
"If I had my way, I would write the word "insure" over the door of every cottage and upon the blotting book of every person, because I am convinced that for sacrifices that are inconceivably small, families can be secured against catastrophes which otherwise would smash them forever. It is our duty to arrest the ghastly waste, not merely of human happiness, but of national health and strength which follows through when through the death of the breadwinner, the frail boat in which the fortunes of the family are embarked flounders..."
Winston Churchill
"One of the clearest evidence of the faith of our people in the free institutions and the future of America is the fact that many millions of our citizens own life insurance policies."
Dwight D. Eisenhower
"To carry adequate life insurance is a moral obligation incumbent upon the great majority of citizens."
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Written Protection
Charles Dickens, the great English writer, had a continuing interest in many things that concerned life insurance. In fact, one of the earliest records of business insurance is Dicken's purchase - on his own initiative - of a policy to protect his generous publisher (who had paid him an advance in English pounds equivalent to $10,000), in case Dickens died before completing several manuscripts.
Dickens offered the following advice on the subject of life insurance:
"No matter what may be the object of your solitude - be insured. Whether you are thinking...comfort and competence in your old age, or of the interests of family when you may be no more, or of a provision for your boy when he reaches a mature age, or of the happy marriage and the wedding portion of your little daughter, one day to be, you hope, a blushing bride, now a tiny, prattling fairy of two or three years - never mind the subject matter - be insured."
Charles Dickens
"It is a strange anomaly that men could be careful to insure their houses, their ships, their merchandise, and yet neglect to insure their lives - surely the most important of all to their families, and more subject to loss."
Benjamin Franklin
"I am now, and I always have been, a believer in life insurance...even a poor man can build up an estate with life insurance. When he does create such an estate, he can feel real satisfaction in knowing that his family is protected if anything happens."
Harry S. Truman
"It just seems to be some people's luck to get blamed for being good in their business. Well, you know how it is. If a guy is going to sell any insurance, for instance, why, he's gotta kinda stick around and ask people if they don't want some more insurance. The crown ain't going to walk all the way upstairs to his office and knock on the door to buy a little insurance, no matter how good it is. I like insurance agents, myself, because they do more good than a lot of fellows that just sit around looking dignified."
Will Rogers
"I can think of no better means for a man to help himself than to undertake the purchase of life insurance."
Lyndon Baines Johnson
