"Trust, but verify" is getting up there for me.

Any sort of "Liberal at 20, conservative at 30" line, especially the mangled one misattributed to Winston Churchill (who not only never said that, but was a Conservative at 20, a Liberal at 30, and a Conservative again at 50).

I was under the impression that that line in its original form was uttered by François Guizot.
