Ghandi comes to mind.
I think it would be a wonderful idea.
- when asked what he thought about western civilization.
Groucho Marx - do I even gotta give an example?

Winston Churchill was famous for his remarks about women he didn't like.
One called him a drunkard and he said "in the morning I'll be sober. You'll still be ugly."
"Sir, if you were my husband, I'd put poison in your tea."
"Ma'am, if you were my wife, I'd drink it."
I remember hearing that one, but forgot who quipped it
Not women, but one particular woman, Lady (Nancy) Astor. Though like Yogi Berra, it's likely he didn't say everything he said.
Reminds me of Canada's first PM, John A. Macdonald, who was constantly on a fucking bender. Dude once showed up to a debate completely sloshed and threw up during the middle of it.
His opponent openly mocked him, to which MacDonald replied, "I get sick sometimes not because of drink or any other cause, except that I am forced to listen to the ranting of my honourable opponent."
Of course, if you know anything about his life growing up, it becomes a lot more... understandable.
He wrote entire books just to shitpost here & there.
