Great Quotes

[TrvlPro]

There are millions of good ones. I just imposed a limit on myself at three of the guys I love quotes from. There is another I'm itching to post but figured I'd wait a while and give everyone else a chance. I don't think the third guy will come up anyway.

Cheers, Neil

Most of my favorites are by three guys. Winston Churchill is number one in my book. Here are some of his best.

but you seem to have missed out on two of his funniest quotes...I think these are true:

Lady Astor to Winston Churchill "If you were my husband I would flavour your coffee with poison"
Churchill "Madam, If I was your husband I would drink it "

Bessie Braddock to Churchill " Winston you are drunk"
Churchill " Bessie you are ugly, and tomorrow morning I will be sober "
