- Margot Asquith (1864-1945) Emma Alice Margaret Tennant (but known as Margot) was born in Peebleshire , the 11th child of industrialist Sir Charles Tennant (grandson of chemist Charles Tennant who founded the family fortunes). She created a stir when she was presented at court in 1881 (as all well to-do young girls of those days aspired to). She was vivacious and had a sparkling wit and mixed with the famous politicians of the day (Lord Rosebery, Balfour and Gladstone ) as well as literary figures such as Virginia Wolf She married Herbert Asquith (keeping him waiting three years before saying yes) who was later to be Prime Minister. She had seven children (and inherited five from Asquith's previous marriage). She was witty, a natural show-off and was never "backward in coming forward." When her name was mispronounced by Jean Harlow , Margot loudly proclaimed "The 't' is silent as in 'Harlow'" Ouch! She published a number of indiscreet autobiographies. She disliked Lord Kitchener , the commander of the British army in the first World War, describing him as "He was not a great man, but at least he was a great poster!"

Next Set of Quotes The spirit of man is an inward flame; a lamp the world blows upon but never puts out.
He's very clever, but sometimes his brains go to his head. What a pity, when Christopher Columbus discovered America, that he ever mentioned it. No one ever pruned me. If you have been sunned through and through like an apricot on a wall from your earliest days, you are oversensitive to any withdrawal of heat. Rich men's houses are seldom beautiful, rarely comfortable, and never original. It is a constant source of surprise to people of moderate means to observe how little a big fortune contributes to Beauty.

Agnes Sampson MARGOT ASQUITH (1864-1945, Society figure and wit) Emma Alice Margaret Tennant, otherwise known as Margot, was born in Peeblesshire, the eleventh child of the (obviously tireless) Liberal industrialist, Sir Charles Tennant. Although having little formal education the "unteachable and splendid" Margot was blessed with a brilliant, razor sharp mind and a tongue to match. She married Herbert Asquith, then Liberal Home Secretary and later Prime Minister, and used her influential position in society to express her views in a forthright manner normally denied to women of the time. She had the personality to carry it off with aplomb. Vibrant, witty and a natural show off, she was never backward in coming forward. "When I hear nonsense talked, it makes me physically ill not to contradict." Her directness, however, when coupled with her acerbic wit could often lead to the kind of verbal cruelty of which Oscar Wilde himself would have been proud.

Her directness, however, when coupled with her acerbic wit could often lead to the kind of verbal cruelty of which Oscar Wilde himself would have been proud. On one occasion, when her name was mispronounced by the American actress Jean Harlow, Margot announced to the assembled company that "The "t" is silent, as in "Harlow"." Great stuff. She knew all of the famous people of her day, and published a series of highly revealing reminiscences in which she recorded conversations with politicians, society figures and royalty, and her opinions of them all.

    Asquith
    Margot Asquith (1864-1945), wife of the British Prime Minister Lord Herbert Henry Asquith, was another character famous for her quick wit and sharp tongue. When she and movie star Jean Harlow (1911-1937 also famous for a sardonic wit as well as for her beauty) met for the first time, Harlow was careless enough to address the lady by her first name. To make matters worse, Harlow pronounced the name as though it rhymed with "lot." Lady Asquith drew herself up to her full height and corrected Harlow by saying, "My dear, the t is silent, as in 'Harlow.'" -A Final Thought ... "He could not see a belt without hitting below it." Margot Asquith (1864–1945), British socialite. Quoted in: Mark Bonham Carter’s Introduction to Margot Asquith, Autobiography (first published 1936; repr. 1962), of former prime minister David Lloyd George.

    Vintage Audio: Lady Margot Asquith on the Events of August 1914
    Updated - Sunday, 19 January, 2003 Available here is a recording made by Lady Margot Asquith (1864-1945) in 1918 recalling the events as witnessed in Britain during the days immediately preceding war at the start of August 1914. Lady Asquith spoke not only as a renowned society figure and wit, but also as the wife of Herbert Henry Asquith , the politician who brought Britain into the war as its Prime Minister in 1914. Herbert Asquith himself proved a casualty of the war; he was ousted as Prime Minister in December 1916 by his Chancellor of the Exchequer and long-time colleague David Lloyd George . The latter is regarded now as then as a far more effective wartime leader than the laconic Asquith, who sometimes appeared to take only a detached interest in the conduct of the war.
