Heart or brain, which comes first. "semi political"

I heard a quote last night that I found interesting.

It might not be the exact wording, so there are no quotes.

Winston Churchill said:

When a person turns 20 and is not a liberal there is something wrong with his heart.

When a person turns 40 and is not a conservative there is something wrong with his brain.

Now the roles of the two parties have changed roughly over the last 50 years.

So what would Churchill say today?

So what would Churchill say today?

Probably about the same thing.

BTW! I don't think Churchill said that, although I haven't been able to find out who did say it. I did read in several places that he didn't though.

I must have a bad heart but a darn good brain.

Can't find this quote in any standard source.  http://www.libraryspot.com/quotations.htm  I bet Mr. Anon with a political leaning said it.

I can't find the quote either way.

It was either a mis-quote or made up.

It was still interesting.

Funnily, the opposite also works...

When a person turns 20 and is not a conservative there is something wrong with his brain.

When a person turns 40 and is not a liberal there is something wrong with his heart.

... which is probably why no one has found the quote.

I found a bumper sticker I could buy that says about the same thing.

The difference is the ages of 18 and 35.  No author was given.

So, I believe it was a quote and the bumper sticker company just changed the ages to keep from paying a royalty.

I found another quote that I believe in, by

Winston Churchill

Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy
