Sådär sa min mofa förr i tiden. Eller va de min gammelmofa?

Personligen tycker jag inte att han spelade ett rent spel under sin tid som brittisk premiärminister. Han hade gladeligen sett Norden som ett stort slagfält under andra världskriget. Han spelade sina kort dåligt och arrogant mot Tyskland trots att man bara hör om hur han ledde försvaret av de brittiska öarna. Han avskydde en viss Gandhi i Indien och sade sig inte bry sig om hur brutalt England behandlade sin ”kronjuvel”.

Men trots allt kunde Winston Churchill verkligen uttrycka sig. Vad sägs om följande citat?

A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on.

A fanatic is one who can’t change his mind and won’t change the subject.

Yes, madam, I am drunk. But in the morning I will be sober and you will still be ugly. – (replying to Lady Astor’s comment ‘Sir, you’re drunk!’)

I like pigs. Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals.

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

I am ready to meet my Maker. Whether my Maker is prepared for the ordeal of meeting me is another matter.

A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.
