"Andrew Marr writes something at the Daily Mail. For those who dislike this pastime please accept my apologies. But it does include a qoute which I never heard before 'Courage is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm.' "
Nor have I. This is not only not Churchill's. It is yet another variation of a common misquote. From my quotations book, "Churchill by Himself" (http://xrl.us/behhv6), the "Red Herrings" appendix, page 580: "Success is going from failure to failure without losing your enthusiasm." Broadly attributed to Churchill, but found nowhere in his canon. An almost equal number of sources credit this saying to Abraham Lincoln; but none of them provides any attribution. "My wife one day brought home a magazine on Hitler...Can you imagine. It was included free with another publication. It featured what it called > great leaders in history." Pray recall that Churchill included Hitler in his book entitled GREAT CONTEMPORARIES. As for "what WSC would do," the best rejoinder, as always, is that of Lady Soames: "How do YOU know?" --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "ChurchillChat" group.
