Questionable Attribution

[rivka, Former Moderator]

The attribution is bogus. I speak Hebrew fairly fluently, and know many traditional Jewish sayings (in Hebrew and English, and a handful in Yiddish or Aramaic).

But it doesn't really matter, as it doesn't meet the notable author guideline anyway. Gone.

I have followed Wayne Dyer for many years. I
enjoyed reading the compilation of quotations that have been attributed to him on this site, but there are quite a number there that are not his.
They are quotations of other individuals that he has used in his writing and oratory, usually with appropriate attribution.

examples:“You cannot solve a problem with the mind that created it. First you must change the mind.” This is taken from an Albert Einstein quote.

“Be independent of the good opinion of other people.”
This is a direct quotation from Abraham Maslow.

“Nothing ever goes wrong."
Dyer here quotes Nisargadatta Maharaj: "In my world, nothing ever goes wrong."

There are others...

Done. It is helpful if you can post a link to the quote.

This thread is about "Questionable Attribution" regarding quotes. Bob addressed a concern about quote attribution to Wayne Dyer when it belongs elsewhere. People often post in threads that have titles relating to their issue/question. There's nothing wrong with it.
