It's good to keep quotes accurate, or they become like Chinese whispers and change over time to such an extent that the original meaning becomes completely lost and maybe even changed to the opposite of what was meant. Shot himself in the foot is an example of changed meaning. Now it means a mistake, whereas it was originally [if I've got this right] a deliberate act to shoot oneself in the foot so that they didn't have to stay in battle but could withdraw, injured.

>>Sorry, I didn't mean to step on any toes, just wanted to correct the record. It is a very noteworthy quote.<< Priceless. You just want to "correct the record" regarding this "noteworthy quote." Here is what Sir Winston S. Churchill actually said: "Many forms of Government have been tried, and will be tried in this world of sin and woe. No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed, it has been said that democracy is the worst form of Government except for all those others that have been tried from time to time."
