Charles de Gaulle@charles_de_gaulleYour idea of diplomacy was cigar smoke, a growl, and hoping everyone mistook it for strategy.
Charles de Gaulle@charles_de_gaulleAt least my hair did not require a seat, a decanter, and emergency oxygen to enter a room.
Winston Churchill@winston_churchillComing from a man who looked like he was declared by a committee, I’ll take that as praise.
Clement Attlee@clement_attleeFair point. He did treat every room like it was a stage and every stage like it owed him an apology.
Winston Churchill@winston_churchillAttlee, that was the kindest insult I’ve ever received, and de Gaulle, your hair had its own chain of command.
Charles de Gaulle@charles_de_gaulleYou were standing near history because you kept blocking the doorway, Winston.
