I believe these should be combined. So far as I can determine, Hinckley is the real source: http://www.lds.org/ensign/1971/06/exc...
The sentence does not appear in the Project Gutenberg text of Jane Eyre: http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/1260
http://www.goodreads.com/quotes/show/...please correct the quote tag on this inspirational is spelled wrong
http://www.goodreads.com/quotes/show/...Please fix the tag on this quote Dimitir should be changed to Dimitri
For consistency the tag on
http://www.goodreads.com/quotes/show/...
should be changed to Dimitri as well (from dimitri-belikov)
Personally I prefer full names as tags but there are already 51 with the tag dimitri and 1 with the tag dimitri-belikov
I just came across this quote “The trouble with quotes on the internet is that it’s difficult to discern whether or not they are genuine.”
that's allegedly by Lincoln. Somehow I doubt the validity.

Ramisa Raya, the author, is a close friend of mine and was telling me about how she never wrote that quote in first place and would feel dishonest claiming it as her own.

I have a feeling that it is a bit more complicated than that but given that Remy is also a librarian I suppose she could simply delete the quote herself.
no.i live in india and in my school library i've read many books published in india.when i searched it i couldn't find them on goodreads.
This isn't the right thread for this topic but when you search for a book and can't find it there is a link on the right hand side to manually add a book. Fill out all the information from the author/publisher site - don't use Amazon or a booksellers site. If you need any further help with the books make a new thread here and we will help you.
William Gibson never wrote nor said this quote: http://www.goodreads.com/quotes/show/...(Proof: https://twitter.com/#!/GreatDismal/st... )
http://www.goodreads.com/quotes/show/363please add "remaining-silent" as a tag for this quote. It's a better known example than the 21 other quotes that already bear this tag
Could someone please correct this? It should be W.B.Yeats, not W.E.Yeats.
http://www.goodreads.com/author/quote...
And so should this:
http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/69...
Actually, it looks as if they have misspelled the author's name on the book cover. I don't know what you do about that. But the quote is definitely from W.B.Yeats, not W.E.Yeats (who doesn't exist).

Please can a super change the attribution for this quote to Maurice Switzer. http://www.goodreads.com/quotes/show/363
Our friends at Quote Investigator have checked this one and decided that it most likely belongs to Maurice Switzer not least because the earliest recorded attribution to Lincoln was in 1931, over 60 years after his death.

Our friends at Quote Investigator have checked this one as well. The earliest reference seems to be 1990!

Does anyone know if this quote is legit? I don't recall the line and no play is cited. It sounds more like the Duke (John Wayne) than the Bard (Shakespeare) ...
