Quote by A.A. Milne

People say nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day.

People say nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day

Summary

In this quote, the speaker humorously points out the paradoxical nature of the phrase "nothing is impossible" by juxtaposing it with their own act of doing nothing. It suggests that despite the notion that everything is achievable, the speaker chooses not to take any action or engage in any productive activity. The quote serves to challenge the notion that everything is possible, emphasizing the importance of personal choice and individual agency in determining one's level of activity and accomplishment.

According to the Bank of England the economy is growing too fast so interest rates must rise to counter the supposed inflationary threat. In lay terms, I interpret this to mean that people are working much harder, causing economic growth, and they're in danger of spending their money, which is what the recession-hit shops want them to do. But the Bank and the City seem to think this is wrong, and that if people work harder they should be punished by having their mortgages increased.
