In his article "The Hidden Tyranny," Benjamin Freedman attributed this quotation to an article in the isolationist publication Scribner's Commentator in However, that magazine did not exist until He may have gotten the date wrong or might have been referring to one of its predecessors, Scribner's Monthly or Payson Publishing's The Commentator.
This is the type of arrant pedantry up with which I will not put. The earliest known version makes no mention of Churchill, and appeared in the Strand Magazine , later quoted in the "Pepper and Salt" section of the Wall Street Journal on : When a memorandum passed round a certain Government department, one young pedant scribbled a postscript drawing attention to the fact that the sentence ended with a preposition, which caused the original writer to circulate another memorandum complaining that the anonymous postscript was "offensive impertinence, up with which I will not put.
Winston Churchill once made this marginal comment against a sentence that clumsily avoided a prepositional ending: "This is the sort of English up with which I will not put". A far more elaborate version also appeared in the Wall Street Journal on the December 9 that same year: The carping critic who can criticize the inartistic angle of the firemen's hose while they are attempting to put out the fire, has his counterpart in a nameless individual in the British Foreign Office who once found fault with a projected speech by Winston Churchill.
Churchill prepared a highly important speech to deliver in Parliament, and, as a matter of custom, submitted an advanced draft to the Foreign Office for comment. Back came the speech with no word save a notation that one of the sentences ended with a preposition, and an indication where the error should be eliminated.
To this suggestion, the Prime Minister replied with the following note: "This is the type of arrant pedantry up with which I will not put. Reported in James C. It is always wise to look ahead — but difficult to look further than you can see. Appears in Churchill By Himself , ed. Langworth, PublicAffairs , p. Bessie Braddock : Winston, you are drunk, and what's more you are disgustingly drunk.
Churchill : Bessie, my dear, you are ugly, and, what's more, you are disgustingly ugly. But tomorrow I shall be sober and you will still be disgustingly ugly. Golding's claim, made to Churchill expert Richard Langworth, was reported in Langworth's collection Churchill by himself. Langworth adds that Churchill's daughter Lady Soames doubted the story. The basic idea of this joke was published as early as , although it was used to ridicule the critic's foolishness rather than ugliness: " Often given in a shorter form, e.

Although widely attributed to Winston Churchill e. They must manage them as best they can. That might be true of nuclear proliferation, but no such excuses can be made for the European Union's activities at the end of the Cold War. It faced a task so obvious and achievable as to count as an almost explicit duty laid down by History: namely, the speedy incorporation of the new Central European democracies--Poland, Hungary and what was then Czechoslovakia--within the EU's economic and political structures. Early entry into Europe was the wish of the new democracies; it would help to stabilize them politically and smooth their transition to market economies; and it would ratify the post-Cold War settlement in Europe.
Given the stormy past of that region-- the inhabitants are said to produce more history than they can consume locally --everyone should have wished to see it settled economically. Old gentlemen with bad memories said it reminded them of Disraeli.

All Indian leaders will be of low calibre and men of straw. They will have sweet tongues and silly hearts. They will fight amongst themselves for power and India will be lost in political squabbles.

There is no such thing as a good tax. Though it is often attributed to Churchill, there is no evidence he ever said it. 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. Furthermore, the Churchill Centre , on its Falsely Attributed Quotations page, states "there is no record of anyone hearing Churchill say this. He'd been a Conservative at 15 and a Liberal at 35! And would he have talked so disrespectfully of Clemmie, who is generally thought to have been a lifelong Liberal? Show me a young conservative and I'll show you someone with no heart.
Show me an old liberal and I'll show you someone with no brains.
If you are not a socialist by the time you are 25, you have no heart. The narrator, Bianca Amato, does an amazing job. What an interesting life Margaret Tudor lived, and I loved learning more about Scotland in this era. I absolutely adored her first husband, King James IV of Scotland, and will try and get more books on his reign. I realize this is historical fiction and that we can never really know why anyone acted the way they did, but I thought I've read almost of all of Philippa's novels, but this was my first audio, and I really enjoyed the experience.
I realize this is historical fiction and that we can never really know why anyone acted the way they did, but I thought Philippa did an wonderful job portraying Margaret as an intelligent, passionate and sometimes conceited queen.
George III (r. 1760-1820)
Another aspect I found very refreshing was seeing Henry's rule from afar, to realize how other countries would have perceived his actions and decisions. The only reason this loses a star is because I sometimes thought that there was too much emphasis placed on the relationship of the three queens, but it allowed me to get a clearer picture of all three of them through each others correspondence, especially Katherine - I ended up shedding a few tears for her at the end of the book.
The afterword also explains why the author focused so much on their sisterly bond. As with all of her novels, I highly recommend this one. The Story: When Katherine of Aragon is brought to the Tudor court as a young bride, the oldest princess, Margaret, takes her measure. Jul 14, Lynn rated it really liked it. It takes an exceptional storyteller to craft a novel whose ending is already known, and Philippa Gregory is one such remarkable woman. She has made the Tudor kings and queens her subject matter over and over again, and I, for one, never get tired of reading her work.
Just feeling more recently with her books that they don't feel as exciting maybe its time to move onto a different period of history to excite us again. Aug 14, Carole P. Roman rated it it was amazing. Philippa Gregory puts the reader right in the middle of the lives of the rich and famous, even when it's over five hundred years ago. She makes historical figures come alive, giving them believable personalities, putting words in their mouths. We can watch a movie about historical figures accepting an actors interpretation without comment, yet when it is put in writing we somehow expect the author to know exactly what they were thinking.
Gregory has created viable personalities for the famous Philippa Gregory puts the reader right in the middle of the lives of the rich and famous, even when it's over five hundred years ago. Gregory has created viable personalities for the famous women dotting the English monarchy and aristocracy. She does it with insight, making them feel like flesh and blood, rather than flat, boring characters. Margaret Tudor is no exception. She is haughty, conceited, jealous and quite full of herself. She was entitled, indulged,and spoiled.
Not surprising when you read about her brother's personality in all the history books. I enjoyed this book. Gregory breaths life into the Tudor court, giving believable personalities to the players. Margaret Tudor was sent into Scotland as a child. She ended up being the ancestor of the current ruling dynasty, and it seems that most of the attention landed upon her grandson James Stewart, nieces, brother, and even her sister eclipsing both Margaret and her husband.
Little Jane Grey, the nine day queen even gets more press.
