Round 9
Buddy
Winston Churchill
On top of all of that he was a heavy drinker, loved to talk **** and had a very sharp wit. Here are some quotes:
His most famous speech "We shall fight them on the beaches..."
Buddy
Winston Churchill
Quote:
Sir Winston Leonard Spencer-Churchill, KG, OM, CH, TD, PC, DL, FRS, Hon. RA (30 November 1874 – 24 January 1965) was a British Conservative politician and statesman known for his leadership of the United Kingdom during World War II. Widely regarded as one of the greatest wartime leaders of the century, he served as Prime Minister twice (1940–45 and 1951–55). A noted statesman and orator, Churchill was also an officer in the British Army, a historian, a writer, and an artist. He is the only British prime minister to have received the Nobel Prize in Literature, and was the first person to be made an Honorary Citizen of the United States.
Quote:
-Bessie Braddock: Sir, you are drunk.
Churchill: And you, madam, are ugly. But in the morning, I shall be sober.
-When I was younger I made it a rule never to take strong drink before lunch. It is now my rule never to do so before breakfast.
-I neither want it [brandy] nor need it, but I should think it pretty hazardous to interfere with the ineradicable habit of a lifetime.
-Lady Astor to Churchill: "Winston, if you were my husband I would flavour your coffee with poison"
Churchill: "Madam, if I were your husband, I should drink it"
-The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter.
-On the deeply religious, teetotal, austere and clean living socialist Chancellor of the Exchequer, Stafford Cripps, after being told of Cripps's decision to give up smoking: "Too bad - that was his last contact with humanity." and on another occasion: "He has all the virtues I dislike and none of the vices I admire."
