Winston Churchill



On Sir Stafford Cripps:


He has all the virtues I dislike and none of the vices I admire.





George Bernard Shaw

"I am enclosing two tickets to the first night of my new play; bring a friend.... if you have one."

"Cannot possibly attend first night, will attend second... if there is one."



About naval tradition: It's nothing but rum, sodomy, and the lash.

On punctuality: I am a sporting man. I always like to give trains and aeroplanes a fair chance of getting away.
