    Christopher Hitchens detested Mother Theresa and wrote a book about her entitled "The Missionary Position." He even flew to Rome to testify at the Vatican when they were considering making her a saint. Penn and Teller really dislike her as well. It seems that the public image of Mother Theresa was very different from what she was really like.

    Jacob Rees-Mogg (Minister For The 17th Century)

    “The requirement not to be rude about judges applies only to judges in this country. It does not apply to judges in the EU, so let me be rude about them. Let me indulge in the floccinaucinihilipilification of EU judges”

    Winston:

    “I have never accepted what many people have kindly said, namely that I have inspired the nation. It was the nation and the race dwelling all around the globe that had the lion heart. I had the luck to be called upon to give the roar.”

    “An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile – hoping it will eat him last.”

    “I am prepared to meet my Maker. Whether my Maker is prepared for the ordeal of meeting me is another matter.”

    “The farther backward you can look, the farther forward you are likely to see.”
