“He’s a modest man. And he has a lot to be modest about.” Churchill, on Clement Attlee who replaced him.”
If I had even half the wit and wisdom of Churchill I would be so happy.
I’d settle for 20%, heck 5%.
A couple more Churchillisms:
1) Lady Astor: If I was your wife, I would poison your drink. WC: If your were my wife, I’d drink it.
2) Lady Astor at a party: Mr. Churchill, you’re DRUNK! WC: Madam, I am very drunk…and you are very ugly. But I shall be sober in the morning.
