"Diplomats were invented simply to waste time." I thought this one was quite amusing, but not sure how to take it, whether to laugh or question it.
"Well, it was the best I could , seated as I was between Jesus Christ and Napoleon Bonaparte" (1919 at the Peace Conference Negotiations) I liked this one as he is talking about Woodrow Wilson and Georges Clemenceau. It made me laugh quite a bit and thinking about how he worded it so well.
"{Churchill} would make a drum skin out of his Mother in order to sound his own praises" Again funny, just showing slight bitterness within politics. Only thing I have to say is, Churchill definitely made more speeches than Lloyd George seems to have.
"{Chamberlain} saw foreign policy through the wrong end of a municipal drainpipe." I find this one particularly funny, because of his subtle way having a go at Neville Chamberlain's corrupted mind. Lloyd George again words it very well.
Last Quote about Sir John Simon:
"He sat on the fence so long that the iron has entered his soul" This quote has to be my favourite of them all, the pure sarcasm that comes across when you read it, it makes for a politics comedy gold.
Once again Thank you for reading this post and my blog, and I hope you all have a Happy Easter!
Next week will be quotes from a few various females.
