Carrie's Quote Of The Day

Carrie has a great quote from a great man.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I start my day with a Quote of the Day- thought this one a great one to share!


"All the great things are simple, and many can be expressed in a single word: freedom; justice; honor; duty; mercy; hope."
- Sir Winston Churchill

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I have to take this opportunity to throw in my two favorite Winston Churchill quotes.

The first was to Lady Astor. She was an American married to an Englishman and was the first woman to enter British Parliament. She used to argue with Churchill the whole time.
At a luncheon party at which they were both present she got so annoyed with him she said: "Winston, if you were married to me I would give you poison."
Winston retorted: "Nancy, if I were married to you I would take it!"

Then, after the war when he had lost the election and was out of office, he dined very well in the House of Commons dining room. As he walked out down the wide corridors of the House of Commons he zigzagged a little.
A well-known lady M.P., much beloved but not very beautiful, went up to him and said: "Winston, you are drunk".
Pulling himself up he replied: "Bessie, my dear, do you know you are very ugly. Tomorrow I'll be sober and you will still be very ugly."

"He has all the virtues I dislike and none of the vices I admire."
