I'm afraid this has been quoted a little 1000 years ago by the Prophet Mohamed the quotequoter. Like '' Do nothing to others which you do not desire for yourself.'' Ok it's not the same.

I am sorry, but Churchill was the greatest phony of the 20th century and what he did to the middle east was unconscionable. A rootless human being who thought the British were better than anyone else and did not say much about his other half which was American.

What he did does not make the quote worth less. And yes, there are other quotes by him which are truly horrible, but have you given it a thought that people may have quoted his words here and/or liked them solely for what they mean and not for the person he was? The same goes, for instance, the nazi connotations for Heidegger, being fond of his work does not mean subcribing to his political views.

Would you ever use Hitler's quotes? Churchill was regarded same as Hitler in the middle east for what he had done to them. We are still suffering from the effects of his policy in the middle east.
