Winston Churchill quotes

All of these are taken from the book: Winston Churchill: soldier, statesman, artist. by John B. Severance.

A lady member of parliament who was annoyed with Winston said to him, "if you were my husband, i'd put poison in your coffee." and Churchill replied, "if you were my wife i'd drink it."

A member of Parliament was giving a long and boring speech when he noticed that Churchill's eyes were closed. "Must you fall asleep while i am talking?" the man asked. "no. " replied Winston with his eyes still closed. "It's purely voluntary."

"During my life i have often had to eat my own words and i have found them a wholesome diet."

"in war you don't have to be nice, you only have to be right."

When he was quite old someone asked Churchill if he was afraid of death. He answered, "I am ready to meet my maker. Weather my Maker is prepared for the great ordeal of meeting me is another matter."

"A young man cannot expect to get very far in life without getting some good smacks in the eye. "

When asked why he painted only landscapes and never portraits he answered, "Because a tree can't complain that i haven't cought its likeness"

West Side Story

WSS was absolutely amazing! I loved it! (even thought it was like my third time seeing the play). Even though it seemed like it was perfect, there were still a few glitches, like half the cast being sick with the flu and going off stage during the performance to go throw up! in one of the songs the one girl was so sick that she couldn't even sing her solo! yea, but she ended up coming on stage later. And there was one time a girl was supposed to pop out of a garbage can, but she popped up at the wrong time! And there were a few mic problems, but they were soon fixed. But over all, it was a GREAT play, and they did a AWESOME job!!!

Oh and in case your wondering my brother Jason was Diesel, and my brother Josh was 1st violin in the pit orchestra.
