Some of the smartest people around are completely stressed out and really really smart.

So, we’re celebrating National Winston Churchill Day!

Some of our favorite Churchill utterances:

 

 

---

Lady Astor to Winston Churchill:
‘If you were my husband I’d poison your brandy.’

Churchill:
‘If you were my wife I’d drink it.’

---

“An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last.”

---

“There are a terrible lot of lies going about the world, and the worst of it is that half of them are true.”

---

“To build may have to be the slow and laborious task of years. To destroy can be the thoughtless act of a single day.”

---

“If you’re going through hell, keep going.”

---

Bessie Braddock:
“Winston, you are drunk, and what’s more you are disgustingly drunk.”

Churchill:
“Bessie, my dear, you are ugly, and what’s more, you are disgustingly ugly. But tomorrow I shall be sober and you will still be disgustingly ugly.”
