"You were given the choice between war and dishonor.
You chose dishonor and you will have war."
(Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.)

And my favourite:

"And they're mooning him back. Whoa, look at all the cracks opening up there, Tony, get your keys out." (referring to Tony Greig sticking his keys in the cracks on the pitch to determine its condition).
