Churchill was once waiting to be called on stage to give a speech to a huge crowd. The lady charged with introducing him leaned over and asked, 'Doesn't it thrill you Mr. Churchill, to see all those people out there who came just to listen to you?'
To which Churchill replied, "It is very flattering, but whenever I feel this way I always remember that if instead of making a political speech I was being hanged, the crowd would be twice as big."

Nice one! And congratulations on finding a Churchill quote I hadn't already heard a million times! (This happens when you're British. I'm not complaining though, there are some real gems there!).
I love Churchill quotes, and I suppose I can see how you would know them all :)
