Quoting the funny Winston Churchill:
“Courage is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm.”
"A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on."
"If you're going through hell, keep going."
"I may be drunk, Miss, but in the morning I will be sober and you will still be ugly."
"Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing has happened."
“When I am abroad I always make it a rule never to criticize or attack the Government of my country. I make up for lost time when I am at home.”
"The Americans will always do the right thing... after they've exhausted all the alternatives."
“A modest man . . . who has much to be modest about.” (on Clement Atlee)
“I am easily satisfied with the very best.”
“He occasionally stumbled over the truth, but hastily picked himself up and hurried on as if nothing had happened" (on Stanley Baldwin)
“History will be kind to me for I intend to write it.”
“I'm just preparing my impromptu remarks.”
“If this is a blessing, it is certainly very well disguised.”
“He has all the virtues I dislike and none of the vices I admire.”
“Everyone has his day and some days last longer than others.”
“I like pigs. Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals.”
Lady Nancy Astor: “Winston, if you were my husband, I'd poison your tea.”
Churchill: “Nancy, if I were your husband, I'd drink it.”
