And Santayana did say somthing similiar. So we are both right.
Just to split hairs, Santayana WAS the original. Since him its been appropriated willy nilly and misquoted. Obviously it isn't a surprise that Churchill would have picked up on it. Smart bloody fellow.

I just think its funny that one of the most abused quotes in history has forgotten its author.
I knew it was Santayana but I thought it was the Mexican emperor.
