Quotes Falsely Attributed To Churchill

A sample:

"Conservative by the time you're 35"
"If you're not a liberal when you're 25, you have no heart. If you're not a conservative by the time you're 35, you have no brain." There is no record of anyone hearing Churchill say this.

And would he have talked so disrespectfully of Clemmie, who is generally thought to have been a lifelong Liberal?"

"Rum, sodomy and the lash"
