Who said that?

[Ponyroper]

Anyone want to take a guess who authored the following quotes? No fair using Google. My favorite is the one about tact.

[FONT=&quot]"The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter." [/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]"If you are going through hell, keep going." [/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]"A lady came up to me one day and said 'Sir! You are drunk', to which I replied 'I am drunk today madam, and tomorrow I shall be sober but you will still be ugly." [/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]"We can always count on the Americans to do the right thing, after they have exhausted all the other possibilities." [/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]"You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life."[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]"A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on." [/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]"History will be kind to me for I intend to write it." [/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]"Tact is the ability to tell someone to go to hell in such a way that they look forward to the trip."

[/FONT][FONT=&quot]"Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing ever happened."[/FONT]

Whiskey and cigar Winston Churchill. The one about enemies is pretty well circulated.

 

[Ponyroper]

Well that took 2.5 minutes. LOL Should have known it was too obvious.

 

[dean nelson]

Yeah the drunk one was the one I knew of before.

 

[Captain Ahab]

I have a couple books on great quotes from great leaders. Ol' Winston has some other humdingers as well.

 

[Ponyroper]

OK smart guys, try this one.

Regan!

 

[Ponyroper]

Yes Reagan is the first one. Anyone got the second one?

[dean nelson]

You going for the one who most think said it or the guy who actually said it first. Had to look up the real guy because I couldn't remember his name but remembered who often gets the credit with a bunch of his other ones.

One of the Marx brothers?

 

[Ponyroper]

Yes, Groucho.

Ya at 13 he doesn't have many quotes left in him. Ha-ha

 

[SDMF]

Yes, Groucho.

My guess would've been Mark Twain.

 

[Account Deleted]

That first quote speaks volumes these days.

 

[dean nelson]

Yes, Groucho.

Actually it was Ernest Benn... Groucho just slightly tweaked it when he quoted it.

Some wealthy lobbyist on the first one.

The second one is not so much of a quote as it is the Democratic party's operating principle.
