"Youth ages, immaturity is outgrown, ignorance can be educated, and drunkenness sobered, but stupid lasts forever." - Aristophanes


Winston churchill at a dinner party to a female political rival...

Rival: Winston! you are DRUNK!
Winston: Yes madam I am, but you are ugly.. and in the monring, I shall be sober.

Winston churchill at a canadian gala political event, was seated next to a bishop. A very attractive waitress came by with drinks and offered them to winston and the bishop.. winston took one,
The bishop, somewhat offended at the offering of booze said
"I would rather engage in adultery than drink an alcholic beverage"
To which Winston immediately replied
"come back here lass.. I didn't know we had a choice!"


One of Winston Churchill's bitter social enemies (again female) once said to him
"winston if you were my husband I'd poison your tea!"
Winston replied
"madam if you were my wife, I'd drink it!"


Ah good ole Winston one of the greatest communicators of all time.

"To be, or not to be: that is the question:
Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them?—To die,—to sleep,—
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heartache, and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to,—’tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish’d. To die,—to sleep;—
To sleep: perchance to dream:—ay, there’s the rub;
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come,
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause: there’s the respect
That makes calamity of so long life;
For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,
The oppressor’s wrong, the proud man’s contumely,
The pangs of despis’d love, the law’s delay,
The insolence of office, and the spurns
That patient merit of the unworthy takes,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare bodkin? who would these fardels bear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary life,
But that the dread of something after death,—
The undiscover’d country, from whose bourn
No traveller returns,—puzzles the will,
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than fly to others that we know not of?
Thus conscience does make cowards of us all;
And thus the native hue of resolution
Is sicklied o’er with the pale cast of thought;
And enterprises of great pith and moment,
With this regard, their currents turn awry,
And lose the name of action." - Shakespear (Hamlet) The full quote!
