They left out one of my favorite Churchillisms, of which I'll give only the punch line: "It's just that whenever you see anything big, you want to nationalize it."
They should have used the Dorothy Parker retort to Claire Booth Luce when she said to Parker "Age before beauty" when both were about to enter a building. The retort: "Pearls before swine."
