OK, guys, can we let this one go 'til the next time? Thanks.

Hey, 'SaveTheGuns', Me thinks thou protest too much. ;-) Please keep your comments brief and to the point. You may provide a link to all your quotes and articles, but please do not post them all here (most of which are already found on this web site). I have deleted most of your multiple posts on the same quote (one comment was over 3 pages long and contained dozens of quotes). Thanks.

Sorry, Mike. The SPAM filter was filtering 'cialis' -- however, that word is found in the word 'socialist'. ;-) It has been resolved. Thanks!

Thanks, Jim, for the heads-up. Of course one person saying something is false without real proof does not carry much weight. Please provide something to back up your claim. Thanks.

The correction has been made. Thanks.

Lincoln is quoted in 'Lincoln, the Freethinker', by Joseph Lewis, 1924.

Dick, No mistake has been made. The quote was sent last year, and on the exact day of its receipt, a comment was logged by your IP address. Nothing was added to your comment. I have no reason to lie and find it insulting that you cannot own up to your own comments whether they were intentional or not. I am not suggesting you are stupid or forgetful; however, the message was received from your IP address on the exact day that quote was sent to you. I consider the matter closed.

Dick, I checked the logs, and, yes, you did write those words on Sep 13 when the Carnegie quote was posted last year (sorry for a repeat so soon). It is not infrequent to receive similar comments and ratings from you. Why are you so surprised to read your own words? I believe the mistake is yours.

We'd sure like a source for this quote if anyone has it. It is a popular quote on the internet, but no source has been found. We have thus marked the quote as False until a reliable source has been confirmed.

Terry, the first post from you was received March 25, 2005. The IP address is the same as all of your other posts around that time. Most entries are left unedited although we will edit comments for web formatting and spelling corrections (often per request but sometimes not).

Thanks, Carl. The quote source has been re-classified as 'Questionable'.

Thanks, Terry, I could have gone the rest of my life without that visual. LOL

This is one of those popular new world order quotes found on the net. The Bilderburgers do hold private conferences, and Kissinger is a member along with a long list of Who's Who's in globalist power cirlces. (Bill Gates even got 'the tap' to join, but declined after one meeting.) If anyone can find out the name of 'the Swiss delegate' that would be helpful. Cheers.

Congrats, Logan. Take care of the newborn!

Thanks, Marc. It is due to efforts like yours that we come to know the truth. It brings me great joy to determine the authenticity of a quote -- I am even happier to confirm that there is no ratified UN World Constitution. However, the comments in reference to this quote certainly contain valid arguments about national sovereignty.

Anon, I suppose Toynbee was 'against,' but as an historian here, he is simply stating his 'observations.' Feel free to rate the quote based on your agreement with it or not, or rate it based on whether you think it is true or not. As you like...

Thanks, Harvey. We can use all the help we can get. The search for truth is an arduous one -- its publication, a duty. ;-)

Thanks, Chicago. The source has been updated, but we still need a date of the quote. Cheers.

We do our best to provide sources to all quotes. We are often helped by our subscribers. In the mean time, the content of the quote is sufficient for consideration and debate.

Harvey: We endeavour to find the source of all quotes. It is often through the help of our subscribers. I have found an excerpt from Federalist #46 for which this quote may be a paraphrase:
"Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. And it is not certain, that with this aid alone they would not be able to shake off their yokes. But were the people to possess the additional advantages of local governments chosen by themselves, who could collect the national will and direct the national force, and of officers appointed out of the militia, by these governments, and attached both to them and to the militia, it may be affirmed with the greatest assurance, that the throne of every tyranny in Europe would be speedily overturned in spite of the legions which surround it.

This is the actual quote from the Jan 31/92 UN speech. The quote frequently appears 'paraphrased' -- we have the false quote here.

Thanks, Bert. We have marked this quote as False, although it is popular on the internet. It appears to be a paraphrase of a quote from the January 31, 1992 UN speech.

David Rosenthal: FYI, the Sarah Brady quote you referred to is also false.

We endeavor to find the source of all our quotes, and if we find that a quote is false, we document it as such for future reference. People can still comment on it, though. Whether it was said or not by the speaker in question, the content is still worth considering (sometimes).

Thanks, DaveH! I was wondering who would post that. This should stimulate some discussion.
