Quotes by Geraint H. Jenkins (?)

“It is not security that destroys, it is insecurity. It is the fear of tomorrow that paralyses the will, it is the frustration of human hopes that corrodes the soul. Security in adversity will, I believe, release our people from the haunting fears of yesterday and make tomorrow not a day to dread but a day to welcome.”
― Geraint H. Jenkins, A Concise History of Wales

“In 1852 the average life expectancy in Merthyr – a rumbustious, populous town likened to Sodom and Gomorrah by Nonconformist ministers – was seventeen and a half.”
