You missed my favorite:
"I doubt we shall ever meet again."
"Do you promise?"

[msinvincible]

"You make him sound like a greek philosopher" is one of the funniest lines in all the series

[lilspring]

my favorites are "I never argue, I explain." and "Of course she is (entitled to put up an anrgument). She's just not entitled to win it." "My dear, a lack of compassion can be as vulgar as an excess of tears."

[alondralabute]

"I must've said it wrong!" The only time the Dowager ever admitted to being wrong. Since in another episode she says "I'm never wrong!" LOL

[LucyLovettLestrange]

Maggie Smith passed away today. Rest in peace. You made Downton Abbey a pure joy!

[danyf.]

My favorites are not here: "what is a week end?" and "I blame the weather".😂

[suwaidajalal]

"I thought it was a man wearing your clothes" is hilariously accurate 😂

[echoesofwar]

"It's wonderful what fear can do to the human spirit.." Burnnnn

[pyrynkat]

Nobody holds a candle to magnificent Dowager in terms of exquisite insults

[ewanoxborrow]

“If I’m going to the theatre, then I ought to change”

“Yes, *I should* “

[celebrityrog]

I like to imagine Maggie Smith isn’t acting in this show. She’s really so prim and proper.

[c.awilliams]

May she rest in peace <3 Absolutely loved her <3

"Put that in your pipe and smoke it."

Legend.

[blessedyears]

Brit humor is always so charming, condescending, and amusing all in one

[cathywilson]

A true gem of a series. Captures the era brilliantly.

[moblinmajorgeneral]

"When you talk like that, I'm tempted to ring for Nanny and have you put to bed with no supper." Robert got put in the doghouse with that one.

[republiceviil]

"I always knew women were ruthless, I didn't think I'd find the proof in my own wife"

[trishsiprell]

She was my fave! Cracked me up EVERY EPISODE '😂
Love you, darling Maggie. 🌺

[jackpowell]

Why am I not surprised that most of these clips are of Maggie Smith...love The Dowager

[dianepatching]

Priceless. “Oh I’m sorry, I thought you were a waiter!!”
