A well noted statesman and orator, sir Winston Churchill was also a Nobel prize winner as a writer. He made a number of extraordinary remarks of which I made a small collection. One should find inspiration for every day in these immortal words.
- The farther backward you can look, the farther forward you are likely to see.
- If you are going through hell, keep going.
- I like pigs. Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals. (my favorite)
- However beautiful the strategy, you should occasionally look at the results.
- The greatest lesson in life is to know that even fools are right sometimes.
- A nation that forgets its past is doomed to repeat it.
- The price of greatness is responsibility.
- There is nothing more exhilarating than to be shot at without result.
- The exchange between Churchill & Lady Astor: She said, "If you were my husband I'd give you poison," and he said, "If you were my wife, I'd drink it."
- "I am enclosing two tickets to the first night of my new play; bring a friend.... if you have one." - George Bernard Shaw to Winston Churchill. "Cannot possibly attend first night, will attend second... if there is one." - Winston Churchill, in response.

Good quotes. Perhaps you should ask your readers to add a quote !
I certainly am in owe of Sir Winston's vast knowledge or rather intelligent use of words in potraing/conveying advise,ridicule and criticism all in a couple of well arranged adjectives..really his quotes are immortal..!! I haile from Kenya and i so wish we had politicians who are able to think like Sir Churchill let alone utter words of wisdom and knowledge like him. 'A pleaser is like a man who is feeding a crocodile hoping it wont turn around and eat him'
the quote you are talking about is
aston 'winston your drunk'
Winston 'yes madam im drunk,and your ugly, but in the morning i'll be sober'
Churchill and Lady Astor had a string of exchanges. I'm not sure of the wording but one went;
Astor, observing a drunken Churchill, "Winston! You're drunk!"
Churchill, "Yes madam. You're ugly, but in the morning I shall be sober..."
I don't think Churchill liked women in parliament. Astor was the first, I think.
Yes, Lady Astor was the first woman in Parliament.
Watch this short funny video of this Churchill quotation with sound effects :D here:

Alan in Darwin, I think the correct quote is even mnore witty:
" Ending a sentence with a preposition is something up with which I will not put. "
My favorite is:
"This is the kind of insubordination up with which I will not put."
Fantastic tribute to a fantastic man!
Really excellent quotes..
