Thank you for the lesson, however in this case Churchill was not quoting Santayana; he was paraphrasing him.

Ok, the lesson continues.

Churchill never said that not paraphrased it.

Accurately citing quotes is very important.

I once heard a great comment supposedly made by Churchill. While trying to track its veracity I came across a Churchill institute. I emailed them and got a response from their director who told me the quote was inaccurate. The director was Churchill’s great grandson. That was pretty cool
