Re:Lincoln Said What? Bogus Quotations Take On A New Life On... by deepandmeaning on Wednesday May 24, 2017 @03:21AM (#14408120)
I've been collecting quotes for years (publishing some of them here: http://thinkmindful.com )

For me other peoples pithy insights bring solace, a new way of looking at something, and a recognition that any struggles I may be going through are not unique to me.

Does the fact that some of them are wrongly attributed bother me? Only a little, I like to get it right. But the meaning behind the message is the main thing.

The meaning can be vastly different depending on the origin of the quote, although for general observations about life I would say you are right.

By happenstance I just came across one that was intentionally misattributed.
