    I read somewhere that it was first said by Napoleon Bonaparte around 1795. I believe the other two gentlemen stole the quote without giving credit to the original author.

    But Boney was just paraphrasing Aristotle's Πραγματεία περί Αστεία βίντεο Γάτα στο Διαδίκτυο, written in 426 BCE and published by the ancient Sumerians. ;P

        Perhaps it recursively provides an affirmation on the original quote too. :)

        The original quote WAS Winston Churchill, the bit about Lincoln is just Americans trying to claim it for themselves.

                              Why would you want to suck Chuck Norris' thumb? Don't you just love the vagueness of the English Language sometimes?

                                Whenever I am presented by the notion that travelling through time at anything other than 1 s/s is even remotely possible I offer the following - if at any time in the past or future of life on this, or any other, planet, a being should invent time travel then we would have known about it since before the earliest records. I think that was said by George VII.

                                No no no. That was said by Marilyn Monroe in 2136. She famously had this conversation with Galileo. George VII was famous for saying: "Justin Bieber is a complete and utter talentless sh*t"
