Churchill's a quote magnet, like Mark Twain, Abraham Lincoln, and many others. Attributions -- whether true or false, documented or un- -- propagate faster than the speed of light, like everything else on the web.
Ben Franklin's another quote magnet, but he almost certainly didn't say this, despite this attribution in print. See this discussion on the American Dialect Society discussion list, where quote attributions are frequently discussed; check the preceding and following posts in thread as well (lightbulb icons).
