Few of Winston Churchill's thoughts and spoken...

Postby jpc1972fr on Fri Oct 09, 2009 4:10 am

1/ During WWII, Churchill entered in De Gaulle's office, dressed funnily and "eyes'chocking".
De gaulle is dressed in general uniform, and said, smiling, " I didn't know it was carnival in London today ! " - Churchill answered him : "what do you want then ? it's not given to all to be dressed as the unknown soldier !"

2/ during a chamber session, a hard Lady of the opposition said to Churchill : " If I was your wife, I would put poison in your coffee" and Churchill answered her : "If i was your husband I would have drunk it !"

3/ About right and restrictions in Europe, Churchill said : "In UK, all is authorised excepted what is unauthorised, - in Germany, all is unauthorised excepted what is authorised, - in France all is authorised EVEN what is unauthorised - and in USSR, all is unauthorised EVEN what is authorised ! "

4/ At the end of his life he said : I am preparing myself about the test to encounteer my creator, but is he, himself, prepared to meet me ?

The of course, there is the most famous quote of all

Lady Aster: Mr Churchill, I do believe that you are drunk!

Churchill: Yes madam, I am drunk, but you are ugly, and in the morning, I shall be be sober!!

Winston Churchill was never in favour of washing his hands after he went to the loo.

One day an Old Etonian in Parliament said to him "at Eton we were taught to wash our hands after we went to the lavatory."

Churchill replied "at Harrow we were taught not to p*ss on our hands".

Sadly we do not have great leaders like Churchill in today's World .

I would love to see him taking apart the Socialists of this era ..

He was not bad on the Insults either .. You could quote him all day ..

" There but for the grace of God , goes God "

"He has all the virtues I dislike and none of the vices I admire."
The Chiefs are Rugby's Entertainers ..
