Tom, read the Source information with the quote. It is not an accurate quotation and is a paraphrase of two actual quotes, which are referenced there. Cheers.

Thanks, Kate, the change has been made. Cheers!

Thanks, Terence. This quotation is excerpted from one of Jefferson's drafts of the Declaration of Independence. Jefferson wrote 'inalienable' in all of his hand-written drafts; however, in Adams 'rough draft' it was 'unalienable.' Adams was on the committee which supervised the printing of the text ordered by Congress, and it may have been at his suggestion that the change was made. The quote as inscribed on the Jefferson Memorial in the nation’s capital also says 'inalienable' but does not include 'inherent and inalienable' as was in this draft. 'Inalienable' is most correct with Latin roots, unalienable combines English and Latin. While unalienable was in popular use in the 18th century, today, inalienable is the more commonly used form with the same meaning.

Thank you, Andrew, we have made the changes.

Thanks for the reference, Steve. We'll check it out. Cheers.

Thank you, Mike, for your very considerate contributions to, well, everyone. Cheers!

Thanks, Mary. I'll add the Harry Browne quotes to the database.

Abby, the source has been updated. Cheers.

Don, we have also been unable to find the source of this quote. We have tagged it 'Attributed' as it is popularly attributed to Truman.

Thank you, Steve. The quote is popularly attributed to Hitler, but most likely a paraphrase. Since Hitler spoke German, searching for the source of this quote would require the actual German. The quote is found in A. E. Samaan's 'From a Race of Masters to a Master Race.' We have put that quote here and tagged the source of this quote accordingly. Thanks again!

Thanks to those who 'do' think and have pointed out the lack of source of this quote. We're going to tag it as 'questionable' with a source that is 'attributed' until we can find a source. Cheers.

Thanks, Cal. Yes, this is from Roger L'Estrange's 'Fables of Aesop.' The source has been updated. Here's a link to the original:
Google Books - Fables of Aesop by Roger L'Estrange

Thanks, John. It appears many authors are quoting Leonard Shapiro in their books. The quote has been posted now here. Thank you!

Thank you, Josh, for the citation. We will check into it. Thank you,

Mike, the last post received from you was the 'rolling on the floor laughing' reply to Robert on the Frederic Bastiat quote page: http://quotes.liberty-tree.ca/quote_blog/Frederic.Bastiat.Quote.95A6

Robert, yes, the post from RBESRQ was posted by you in 2010, no one has "pinched it." Cheers.

Thanks, Virginia.

Thanks, Abby. The correction has been made.

Mike, thank YOU for your contributions to this site over the years. I hope to one day compile a few pages of 'the best of' comments posted over the years - yours would certainly be among the top. Thanks not just for your words, but your actions as the 'noble sovereign' that you are. Cheers!

The quote is marked as a 'False George Washington quote'. The actual quote is from the Treaty of Tripoli in 1796 which was written during Washington's presidency, but John Adams signed it. It is inaccurately attributed to Washington himself.

Thanks, James. The quote has been marked as False. The source of the quote appears to be from Jeffrey Snyder in an essay 'A Nation of Cowards,' (Fall 1993)
We have added the Snyder quote here:

The source has been updated -- thank you, anonymous, cocord and John, People's Republic of Illinois.

Thanks, Louis, we'll check into the source. Cheers.

Sorry, we did not mean to send this one out again. We can't find the MTV source from which it is attributed. However, in light of recent attempts by Hillary Clinton to take down embarrassing videos of/about her, it may not be entirely out of the question that Bill Clinton's remarks may have been cleaned up by MTV.
