Churchill was sitting at a formal dinner (in his younger day) and was drunk. He happened to look over at at the wife of another government official said "You madam, are the ugliest woman I've ever seen". She replied "And you Mr. Churchill, are the drunkest man I've ever seen". His response was "Ah yes, but in the morning I shall be sober".
There was another time someone asked Churchill why he and the United States were allied with Stalin when he was no better than Hitler. His response (which was actually a play on the lesser of the two evils) was "If I knew today that Satan was on the outs 9or something to that effect) with Hitler I'd be making an alliance with Hell tomorrow.

My favourite is
Bessie Braddock: Sir, you are drunk.
Churchill: And you, madam, are ugly. But in the morning, I shall be sober
Oh yeah, this ones great too.....
Churchill: Madam, would you sleep with me for five million pounds?
Socialite: My goodness, Mr. Churchill... Well, I suppose... we would have to discuss terms, of course...
Churchill: Would you sleep with me for five pounds?
Socialite: Mr. Churchill, what kind of woman do you think I am?!
Churchill: Madam, we've already established that. Now we are haggling about the price.

He was having a pony in the house of commons loo and someone knocked on the door and said that the Chief Whip wanted to see him urgently. He said, "He will have to wait, I can only deal with one sh*t at a time"

As a historian and to some extent a maker of history, Winnie was once quoted as saying that human history was "One damned thing after another"

that is my favorite:
Churchill proposing a toast to the Soviet leader at the Yalta conference in 1945: 'To Premier Stalin, whose foreign policy manifests a desire for peace.' Then in a whispered aside out of the interpreter's hearing: 'A piece of Poland, a piece of Hungary, a piece of Romania...'

Getting serious - "we shall fight them on the beaches, we shall fight them in the air...we shall NEVER SURRENDER!!"

This is my favourite:
NANCY ASTOR: "If I was your wife, I'd poison your tea!"
CHURCHILL: "And if I was your husband I'd drink it!"
