Age, etc.-Conservatives in the mist

[Guest guest]

Ann,

When I read the quote years ago it was attributed to Disraeli, but I certainly don't know for sure. Anyway, here's a quote that seems pertinent to the age/etiology discussion from a tombstone in Tombstone, Arizona:

 

"Ninety percent of what killed me never happened."

Joseph Garner

 

>>>Hmm, once again. I thank you for this; i couldn't suppress a quizicality confronted with the Twain attribution. I had gotten exasperated looking for the quote. Anyway, you inspired me to try again. I found the quote attributed to Churchill:

 

Any man who is under 30, and is not a liberal, has not heart; and any man who is over 30, and is not a conservative, has no brains.

Sir Winston Churchill

 

Also cited as:

Any 20 year-old who isn't a liberal doesn't have a heart, and any 40 year-old who isn't a conservative doesn't have a brain.

Winston Churchill (1874 - 1965) English statesman, author

In The Ultimate Success Quotations Library, 1997.

 

We stand contested,

Ann, Joseph et al.

 

Thanks for the correct attribution. I stand corrected.
