Spurious quotes

Recommended Posts

Just bother me.
I got yelled at by a poster calling him on his fake Winston Churchill quote (Churchill never objected to welfare). And what Lincoln actually said was:
Quote

If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time or die by suicide.



People should choose words, and others should respect that choice.

Wendy P.
There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

Changing famous quotes to alter their message isn't anything new, but I think it has reached an all time high.

After all, as Oscar Wilde said "“There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is being deliberately misquoted".
