Mr. Churchill, the Quotable
May 30, 2010
Is there no one alive today as quotable as Winston Churchill was? Or does it just seem that way? Anyway, I really like this one:
You can always count on Americans to do the right thing – after they’ve tried everything else.
Obviously, at some point a reputation for aphorism begins to be embellished and the subject is mythologized. Like Yogi Berra, Churchill probably didn’t say a lot of the stuff he said. He just didn’t say it better.
