One of the books I'm reading included quotes by Lt. Gen. Chesty Puller. Seems only fitting to lead off a new topic with a couple of his quotes.

“We’re surrounded. That simplifies the problem.”

“They are in front of us, behind us, and we are flanked on both sides by an enemy that outnumbers us 29:1. They can’t get away now.”

Where the Hell do you put the bayonet?” - Chesty Puller

(He said this while at a flamethrower demonstration. Apparently, Puller wanted to be ready to stab the men he set on fire.)

Attributed to Mark Twain by the movie The Big Short although Twain scholars have not record of Twain saying it.

It's a pretty good saying whoever said it.

There's also a discussion on similar sayings. https://quoteinvestigator.com/2018/11/18/know-trouble/

Didn't Churchill say say some thing like

I maybe a drunk but when I wake up you will still be ugly 

Bit late to the party Nick, it's quoted by Galenkia on the previous page!.

Churchill was also responsible for this one:

Lady Nancy Astor: Winston, if you were my husband, I'd poison your tea.
