Churchhill's mother was an American.
His father was the duke of Marlborough.
Winston was the second son so he did not inheret the title.

Well at the moment you are correct, but if time travel is invented in the future then we could hypothetically go back in time and get Winston Churchill or Abraham Lincoln to say these things for irony's sake.

Quote: time travel is invented in the future then we could hypothetically go back in
Let's assume that we invent time travel in the future. This means that instead of changing lets say WWI or WWII or any other mischief, we are saying that it was the best that could have happened?

Without WWII and WWIII and the impetus it gave to research, we wouldn't have been able to stop that asteroid from hitting the planet.
Or was that next year? I always forget.

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.

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.
