Communist at 20, capitalist at 50.
The earliest known version of this observation is attributed to mid-nineteenth century historian and statesman François Guizot:
- Not to be a republican at 20 is proof of want of heart;
- to be one at 30 is proof of want of head.
Variations on this theme were later attributed to Disraeli, Shaw, Churchill, Bertrand Russell.
- "Celui qui n’est pas républicain à vingt ans fait douter de la générosité de son âme; mais celui qui, après trente ans, persévère, fait douter de la rectitude de son esprit." --Jules Claretie[1]
