Highly entertaining, and totally false. The favorite internet "quote" of that phrase, or something like it, is most popularly attributed all the way back to Benjamin Franklin; apparently also false. The earliest reference to a variation of that quote that I could find anywhere only dates to 1991, from and American Libertarian named James Bovard:

I hereby challenge anyone to show exactly where and when Winston Churchill made that statement.
