Sir Winston Churchill(When told that he is a drunk) My dear, you are ugly; but in the morning I will be sober and you will still be ugly.
About This Quote
When Benjamin Franklin dictated this letter to his son, he was being told that he was drunk. Franklin did not take this statement lightly. He was telling his son that whatever happens in the morning, he will be sober and the person who told him he was drunk will be ugly. This would have been a humorous remark, but Franklin did not find humor in it.
He did not view this as a humorous situation. Instead, he saw it as something that needed to be addressed immediately.
