I thought you where starting a Churchill quote thread.
Although Cicero (88 BC)has some interesting messages on governance:
"Silent enim leges inter arma" Laws are silent in times of war

[Phaedrus]

Sweet. How bout this:

Winston Churchill, on learning that the Italians had joined the Axis in WWII, is reported to have remarked: "...it's only fair, we had to have 'em last time..."

Some snarky bint told Churchill "that if he was her husband she would put poison in his drink"
to which the great man replied "If i was your husband,I would drink it"

Gotta love a fighting man with a sense of haha.
