"Don't be content with things as they are, the earth is yours and the fullness thereof"
Sir Winston Churchill certainly had no fear of being different.
He endlessly smoke huge cigars; slept all morning, then worked through the night;
dictated crucial war correspondence to his secretary while lying in the bath;
and drank more champagne in a week than most of us do in a lifetime.
This provoked the rebuke from fellow MP Bessie Braddock,
'Mr Churchill, you are drunk.'
He famously replied,
'Indeed, madam, and you're ugly, but tomorrow I shall be sober.'
