    I think I know the bit you mean

    My input:
    "Mr Churchill, you're drunk."
    "Bessie, you are ugly. You are very ugly. I’ll be sober in the morning."

    Best thing any prime minister has ever said. EVER

    It may be fake but it is awesome :

    "Mr. Churchill, if you were my husband, I'd poison your tea!" "And if you were my wife, I would drink it!"

    Another good one, misattributed to Stalin:

    "The death of one man is a tragedy, the death of millions is a statistic."

    "Finally I can live like a human being"

    Nero, upon moving into his Golden Palace. It's funny/poignant/sad because so many Romans had to live in slums.

    "Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world and the soul of soulless conditions." - Marx

    "Sell a man a fish, he eats for a day, teach a man how to fish, you ruin a wonderful business opportunity." - Marx (again)

    "A statesman...must wait until he hears the steps of God sounding through events, then leap up and grasp the hem of His garment." - Bismarck

    That's enough for now...

    The man who has no sense of history, is like a man who has no ears or eyes.
    I have to agree in some respects even though I don't like the man this is one thing that makes sense.

    From Stettin in the Baltic to Trieste in the Adriatic an iron curtain has descended across the Continent. Behind that line lie all the capitals of the ancient states of Central and Eastern Europe. Warsaw, Berlin, Prague, Vienna, Budapest, Belgrade, Bucharest and Sofia; all these famous cities and the populations around them lie in what I must call the Soviet sphere, and all are subject, in one form or another, not only to Soviet influence but to a very high and in some cases increasing measure of control from Moscow.

    By Winston Churchill

    I have to elaborate this a bit This quote by is not that important by many people, but it is the first time that someone spoke of the idea that would shape the world in the next 50 years. This is the essence of the Cold War and the essence of the East-West Struggle. Moreover I am intrigued by the Churchill missing the Yugoslava that was communist country and yet he did not align it to either side. (if someone has other opinions quote me or pm to response)

    Hypocrisy. Churchill was one of the people who created "the iron curtain".

    The Churchill one is true, and very very clever. Churchill was a great master of wit, and quick answering, something I wish I could be
