Great Quotes and Comebacks - Quoted from History ...I will begin with a person who I love to read his quotes! Some Comebacks from Sir Winston Churchill - Bessie Braddock: "Winston, you are drunk!" Churchill: "You're right, Bessie. And you're ugly. But tomorrow morning, I'll be sober, and you'll still be ugly." Lady Astor: "Winston, if you were my husband, I'd put poison in your coffee." Churchill: "Nancy, if you were my wife, I'd drink it." Parliament member: "Mr. Prime Minister, must you fall asleep while I'm speaking?" Churchill: "No, it's purely voluntary." George Bernard Shaw: "I have reserved you two tickets for opening night. Come and bring a friend, if you have one." Churchill: "Impossible to come to first night. Will come second night, if you have one."

Samuel Foote - Sir Francis Blake Delaval: "Sir, I do not know whether you will die on the gallows or of the pox." Samuel Foote: "That depends, my lord, on whether I embrace your principle or your mistress." Note: This quote has been attributed to numerous people, but the earliest references are to Samuel Foote.

Two of my favourites:
However beautiful the strategy, you should occasionally look at the results. -Sir Winston Churchill
Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it. -William Arthur Ward
And two that make me think of that man in the white house these days:
The best index to a person's character is (a) how he treats people who can't do him any good, and (b) how he treats people who can't fight back.
-- Abigail van Buren
When the character of a man is not clear to you, look at his friends.
- Japanese Proverb
