5. More Churchill quotes.... |
|
I remember when I was a child, being taken to the celebrated Barnum's Circus, which contained an exhibition of freaks and monstrosities, but the exhibit on the programme which I most desired to see was the one described as "The Boneless Wonder". My parents judged that the spectacle would be too demoralising and revolting for my youthful eye and I have waited fifty years, to see the The Boneless Wonder sitting on the Treasury Bench. On Ramsay MacDonald (A rascal dandy mom)
Mr Gladstone read Homer for fun, which I thought served him right. On Gladstone (Slogan Ted)
A sheep in sheep's clothing. On Clement Atlee
A modest man, who has much to be modest about. On Clement Atlee
An empty taxi arrived at 10 Downing Street, and when the door was opened, Atlee got out. On Clement Atlee
There but for the grace of God, goes God On Stafford Cripps (Drops stiff crap)
The candle in that great turnip has gone out. On Stanley Baldwin (Indy swan ballet)
Mr Chamberlain loves the working man, he loves to see him work. On Joseph Chamberlain (A hip jam belch snore)
He looked at foreign affairs through the wrong end of a municipal drainpipe. On Neville Chamberlain
An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile hoping it will eat him last. On Neville Chamberlain
Lady Astor (Dora Salty) 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."
Bessie Braddock to Churchill "Winston, you're drunk!" Churchill: "Bessie, you're ugly, and tomorrow morning I shall be sober."
Cultured people are merely the glittering scum which floats upon the deep river of production.

gotta love the classic: Bessie Braddock to Churchill "Winston, you're drunk!" Churchill: "Bessie, you're ugly, and tomorrow morning I shall be sober."
