Original Note:
The quote is not something Winston Churchill said. From Politifact: "The quote is a modernized variation of a passage [Victor] Hugo wrote in his 1845 essay "Villemain:" "You have enemies? Why, it is the story of every man who has done a great deed or created a new idea."" https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2019/sep/04/facebook-posts/quote-attributed-churchill-having-enemies-original/
