never heard of him, but good quote

Eliane a/k/a Elly 2. December 2007, 22:09

Well,I guess he is famous for this one quote. Must be some sort of upublic speaker, I guess.

Adele 2. December 2007, 22:25

I suppose it's a kind of immortality, to provide the world with a famous quote...

Kimberly 3. December 2007, 02:22

quite possibly

Eliane a/k/a Elly 3. December 2007, 16:59

Yes, Foxy, it is immortality as long as English is a living language and we who can translate it are still about.

This same quote is also credited to Winston Chrchill. I know Churchill lived from 11/30/1874 - 1/24/1965, but I can't find information when Norman MacFinan lived. I'm curious as to who this quote should really be credited to.

Hya, Kim! It is a good quote, glad you agree.

Eliane a/k/a Elly 13. July 2009, 21:33

It is curious, Bartman 777. I guess great minds think alike, Churchill and MacFinan. And all of us :smile:
