As a quotation freak myself, I'm not amazed at how many quotations are recycled. I'm sure it would not be difficult to find that many of Churchill's "bon-est" mots came from previous sources. But why should this be a deprecation? Surely it is a tribute to Churchill that he knew how to quote the best of those who had gone on before.
