It shows up in various places going back to the 1970’s including occasional 
attributions to Churchill which seem to be unsubstantiated.

 

Most recently, it was used/popularized by Rahm Emanuel when he was White House 
Chief of Staff and a lot of the current online references are to him.

Subject: [ChurchillChat] Verification of a Quote Attributed to Churchill

 

I have had an inquiry from a visitor to www.winstonchurchill.org 
<http://www.winstonchurchill.org>  about a quote, which like many on the 
internet, is attributed to Churchill. I have checked both of Richard 
Langworth's books as well as searched some of Martin GIlbert as well as a few 
other titles, but have turned up with nothing. I have also inquired with the 
Churchill Archives one of their archivists was not able to source it. 

 

'Never let a good crisis go to waste.'

 

Would anyone on the list have any ideas on this one? 

 

Thanks for the assistance.
