“If You’re Not a Conservative When You’re 30…”

There’s an old expression, “If you’re not a liberal when you’re 20 you don’t have a heart. If you’re not a conservative when you’re 30 you don’t have a brain.”

What is the Origin of the Quote?

It’s often attributed to Winston Churchill and he might have said it, but research shows that’s it actually goes back further in history than that.

One of the earliest citations of something similar is from “French statesman and historian François Guizot who died in 1874” according to the quote investigator website.
