"I speak in the name of the entire German people when I assure the world that we all share the honest wish to eliminate the enmity that brings far more costs than any possible benefits... It would be a wonderful thing for all of humanity if both peoples would renounce force against each other forever. The German people are ready to make such a pledge."
Adolf Hitler - 14th October 1933    :shock:

I think you could quote just about anyone in politics throughout history and they later went totally against what they said. But maybe with not quite such an horrific result as that particlar one!

I have numerous favourites:

1) "Work is the curse of the drinking classes": Oscar Wilde

2) "They couldn't hit an elephant at this dist........": General John Sedgewick at the the battle of Spotsylvania, American Civil War, after being warned about the abilities of Confederate snipers, and ignoring advice to keep down.

3) "However much you polish a turd, at the end of the day it is still a turd". Anon, but used frequently when politicians try to gloss over a bad event, or when senior Police officers come up with a brand new time saving idea. :roll:

4) "Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few."
Extract from speech by Churchill, 20 August 1940

As true today as it was then. The 'Few' today are all the Armed Forces.

Here's one for you to ponder from Martin Luther King......

"A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual doom. "

My question is....
Has the country he refers to changed in this respect? I think not.

Woman on Street:   Sir, you are drunk; very, very drunk.
Winston Churchill:   Madame, you are ugly; very, very ugly.
         I shall be sober in the morning.

Churchill again

woman "if you were my husband id put poison in your tea"
Churchill "If you were my wife id drink it"


Both quotes are of conversations in public between WS Churchill and Lady Astor, (Nancy Astor IIRC) an American and an fellow MP.

There are others......

Oscar Wilde.

That line being in a pretenders song I was working and not entirely listening when it was on... I swear I misheard it as "we are all of us in the gutter, but some of us are looking for the stairs"  presumably a more useful interpretation for the practically minded.

Puts me in mind of one of NASAs finest (don't recal which one) when interviewed about becoming an astonaut.  "when you reach the end of the countdown and realise you are sitting on top of 1 million tons of fuel in a rocket built by the lowest bidder"
