History is full of famous people who never saw eye to eye. The great Winston Churchill had disagreements with many people and he never hesitated to let his feelings be known. Although he appointed Stanley Baldwin as Chancellor of the Exchequer, Churchill never got along with him and was quoted as saying, "I wish Stanley Baldwin no ill, but it would have been much better if he had never lived." Of his own marriage, Churchill once said, "My wife and I tried to breakfast together, but we had to stop or our marriage would have been wrecked."
Churchill had less kind words for many other people:
- He has the gift of compressing the largest amount of words into the smallest amount of thoughts. (of Ramsey MacDonald)
- He looks like a female llama who has been surprised in the bath. (of Charles De Gaulle)
- Bessie Braddock to Churchill: Sir, you are drunk!
Churchill: And you, madam, are ugly. But in the morning, I shall be sober.
- He has all the virtues I dislike and none of the vices I admire. (of Sir Stafford Cripps)
