Classic Winston Churchill wit.... These are old and possibly apocryphal, but just in case of the younger redditors haven't heard them: Bessie Braddock: “Sir, you are drunk.” Churchill: “And you, Bessie, are ugly. But I shall be sober in the morning." Truman to Churchill on Churchill's replacement as PM, Clement Atlee: "he seems like a modest fellow." Churchill: "He has much to be modest about." Actor friend sent telegram to Churchill: "MY NEW SHOW OPENS IN WEST END TOMORROW NIGHT. HAVE RESERVED TWO TICKETS. BRING FRIEND, IF ANY." Churchill responded: "CANNOT ATTEND OPENING NIGHT. WILL ATTEND SUBSEQUENT SHOW, IF ANY" "The best argument against democracy is a five minute conversation with the average voter." "I know that history will treat me kindly, for I intend to write it."
