Often Misquoted Quotes

There is nothing in the record of the past two years when both Houses of Congress have been controlled by the Republican Party which can lead any person to believe that those promises will be fulfilled in the future. They follow the Hitler line - no matter how big the lie; repeat it often enough and the masses will regard it as truth.

Were I a Roman Catholic, perhaps I should on this occasion vow to build a chapel to some saint, but as I am not, if I were to vow at all, it should be to build a light-house. [Letter to his wife, 17 July 1757, after narrowly avoiding a shipwreck; often misquoted as "Lighthouses are more helpful than churches."]

We might mean different things. How can you tell? Only by reading each of us carefully and seeing what each of us has to say—not by pretending that we are both saying the same thing. We’re often saying very different things.

Just as famous, if not more so, is the ancient Asian sage Sun Tsu, author of The Art of War. Sun Tsu is a much easier and quicker read than Clausewitz, full of short pieces of advice, from the tactical to the strategic, that have been quoted and applied far beyond the military, often in the world of business. The adage most frequently attributed to Sun Tsu—“know your enemy if you wish to win”—is actually a misquotation. It is indeed good to know your enemy if you wish to win, but Sun Tsu’s recipe for ultimate victory begins with knowing yourself—why you are going to war, what you are fighting for. You may have studied the culture and ways of your foe for years and be intimately familiar with his thinking, but first you must be able to answer the questions, What do I represent? What am I prepared to risk blood and treasure for, and why exactly am I going to war? If you cannot answer these questions, then you should not be going to war at all.

Be the change you wish to see in the world, Barack was often misquoted as having said.

Tertullian, a Roman theologian based in the North African city of Carthage, never wrote the words “it is by all means to be believed because it is absurd.” This garbled misquotation is often attributed to him in secondary writings.

The phrase is often misquoted, and more often it is supposed to crystallize an irrational prejudice in his mind, as if he scorned and spurned the intelligence in religion – a supposition which will not survive any first-hand acquaintance with [his] writings.”48

At heart, physics was still deterministic. Actions led to reactions in totally law-abiding ways. With Born’s move to bring in probability, something changed decisively. As he wrote in his paper in 1926, in “quantum mechanics there exists no quantity in which an individual case determines the results of a collision…I myself am inclined to give up determinism in the atomic world.”[41] Einstein wasn’t having any of it. His response to Born has been quoted, requoted, and misquoted ad infinitum (often by the great man himself), but the gist was always the same. The imposing edifice of quantum mechanics “delivers much but it hardly brings us closer to the Old One’s secret. In any event, I am convinced that He is not playing dice.”[42] The laws of physics couldn’t come down to maybes; things happened for a reason.
