One of the marvelous things about Churchill is that whatever he was doing, whether fighting or arguing or despairing or bouncing about full of energy, jokes are never far away.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Churchill was the canny political animal, very devious, bursting with energy and determination, learning as hard as he could.
Churchill was one of the few men I have met who even in the flesh give me the impression of genius. George Bernard Shaw is another. It is amusing to know that each thinks the other is overrated.
I love history, and Churchill is one of my favorite people to study. He's a fascinating, fascinating man.
Jokes are better than war. Even the most aggressive jokes are better than the least aggressive wars. Even the longest jokes are better than the shortest wars.
You know the stories of a woman saying to Churchill, 'Sir, you're drunk,' and he said to her, 'And you're ugly, but in the morning I'll be sober.' I was really excited to do that scene, but I did get slapped.
Be bold - there's enough Neville Chamberlains in the world; be a Winston Churchill, for crying out loud!
A serious and good philosophical work could be written consisting entirely of jokes.
'Foyle's War' made me realise that Churchill actually had questionable morals; his decisions meant that good people died. It must have weighed heavily on his soul, but he never let his personal demons get in the way of what was best for our country.
The ability for us to laugh at ourselves is Britain's saving grace.
Oh, Mrs. Churchill, do come over, someone has killed father.
