Winston Churchill said "gadgets"? Really? In what speech or book did he do so?
The old boy in his writings showed quite a healthy respect for the machinery of war (eg see atomic bomb). I don't see him saying such a thing in earnest.
- physcab 17y agoYeah that was one of those quotes that someone else had sent to me and I remembered it when I read the OP. I did a search but couldn't come up with any sources. But the other part of the quote is this: "Success is not final, failure is not fatal. It’s the tenacity and courage to continue that counts." And that seems to come up quite a bit as being attributed to Churchill.
