"A lie get halfway around the world before the truth gets its pants on."

Sir Winston Churchill

One of my favorites.

Oooh let me play!
My faves are:

When you have to kill a man, it costs nothing to be polite.
If Hitler invaded hell I would make at least a favorable reference to the devil in the House of Commons.
I may be drunk, Miss, but in the morning I will be sober and you will still be ugly.

Oh, maybe it went like this: "A lie gets halfway around the world before the skunk gets his scent on."

In my opinion, Churchill can justifiably be regarded as being one of the greatest leaders of 'modern' times.

Although somewhat eccentric he was also a gifted orator, painter and extremely innovative person who knew how to get himself into all types of trouble

. He was also quite a maverick in his younger days and knew how to upset his 'superiors' by virtue of his disregard for authority.

A good book on some of his exploits in the Anglo-Boer War (South Africa) was written by his Granddaughter (Celia Sandys) and is titled Churchill: wanted dead or alive.

This is my fav quote:

Lady Astor: "Winston, if I were your wife I'd put poison in your coffee."
Winston: "Nancy, if I were your husband I'd drink it."

For you teachers and wordsmiths out there:

"From now on, ending a sentence with a preposition is something up with which I will not put."

And, for our resident characters:

"Never hold discussions with the monkey when the organ grinder is in the room."
