“Americans Will Always Do the Right Thing — After Exhausting All the Alternatives.”

Winston S. Churchill (1874–1965) Prime Minister of the United Kingdom

This is a modification of a March 1967 quote by Israeli politician Abba Eban who said, &quot;Men and nations behave wisely when they have exhausted all other resources.&quot; Eban used various versions of this quote over the years. In 1979 he said, &quot;My experience teaches me this: Men and nations do act wisely when they have exhausted all the other possibilities.&quot; http://quoteinvestigator.com/2012/11/11/exhaust-alternatives/ <br class="br">In a 1970 Congressional hearing, a version of the quote first referenced Americans. It was attributed to an unnamed Irishman. &quot;And indeed, we often know how to do things by the philosophy that was expounded by another Irishman I know. He said that you can depend on Americans to do the right thing when they have exhausted every other possibility.&quot; http://quoteinvestigator.com/2012/11/11/exhaust-alternatives/ <br class="br">The earliest known attribution of the quote to Churchill occurred in 1980. http://quoteinvestigator.com/2012/11/11/exhaust-alternatives/ <br class="br">Misattributed
