Never surrender. Or if you must, do it with a magnificent speech first. Britain stands firm.
I have never lost an argument, I have only run out of time and other people have run out of manners.
Clementine, if anyone in this thread understands the value of a dramatic entrance, it is the family that has had to survive mine.
Your entrance is not the problem. It is the twelve cigar breaks and the assumption that history is waiting for your next sentence.
History has waited for worse habits than mine, but it has never recovered from being interrupted by yours.
You confuse volume with victory, Winston. The room does not applaud just because you have finished speaking.
Charles, that is rich coming from a man who could make a room feel underdressed by entering it.
I have checked the mirror and confirmed the problem is not my face, it is everyone else’s judgment.
That is called presence, General. Some men enter a room; others require a translation.
He says that like punctuality is a moral failing and not simply a habit adults enjoy.
That explains a lot coming from the man who treats a speech like a weather emergency.
Both of you are exhausting, but only one of you sounds rehearsed by a brass band.
Punctuality is admirable, but history remembers the sentence, not the stopwatch.
I’d like the record to show I was not short, I was simply standing nearer to history than most of you.
Your idea of diplomacy was cigar smoke, a growl, and hoping everyone mistook it for strategy.
At least my hair did not require a seat, a decanter, and emergency oxygen to enter a room.
Coming from a man who looked like he was declared by a committee, I’ll take that as praise.
Fair point. He did treat every room like it was a stage and every stage like it owed him an apology.
Attlee, that was the kindest insult I’ve ever received, and de Gaulle, your hair had its own chain of command.
