From well-constructed and contrived quips to completely natural and seemingly spontaneous comments, there's something fascinating about people's last words.

The great politician and orator Winston Churchill left behind a sea of humourous quips and discerning quotes. We remember some of his finest epigrams and witty ripostes.
Churchill
