Winston Churchill
Almost everything ever attributed to Winston Churchill. There's the famous 'He who is not left when young has no heart, and he who is not right when old has no brain', which has been said by all manner of people in one form or another - but there's no record of Churchill saying it. I remember reading that the original quote is from the time of the second French empire, and talks about being republican when young and monarchist when old, but I can't find it now.
