DeSantis appears to misattribute a quote to Churchill as he leaves Primary

WHAT WAS SAID

“'Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.' –Winston Churchill”

– Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, in a message on X announcing the end of his presidential campaign.

This appears to have been wrongly attributed.

There are no records in which the former British Prime Minister, who died in 1965, uttered these words: according to the International Churchill Societyin which the statement appears on a list of quotes wrongly linked to Mr Churchill.

Another quote: “Success is going from failure to failure without losing your enthusiasm,” is next to it.

“We cannot find an attribution for either of them, and you will find that they are broadly attributed to Winston Churchill,” reports the organization. “However, they are nowhere to be found in his canon.”
