General: quote identification

[Carol Ann Sass <louissassjr@sprintmail.com>]

Hi,

I would like to track down the origin and exact wording of the following
quote:  A lie travels halfway around the world before truth puts its
shoes on.  I have heard it attributed to Mark Twain, Winston Churchill,
and a British prime minister (whose name I do not know) from the
1970's.  Several quote sources including Bartlett's have been checked.
Thanks.
