Nah... This isn't a publishing forum. Everybody recognizes the line as
being spoken by Churchill. Whether he cribbed it somewhere doesn't
matter because whoever may have said it earlier didn't have
Churchill's weight. Next time there's a thread about chocolate cake,
watch for me to say "I can resist everything except temptation." Will
you then commend whoever points out it wasn't my line, or will you nod
in recognition of the thought?
