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.

E Archer, you are not that far off - I discovered recently that Amazon has already begun offering Amazon credits for used smart phones, which is essentially creating money for a marketplace. You are right, it is happening. I can 'sell' my iPhone to Amazon (which they then resell) and buy something else with the Amazon credits. I am not sure what else Amazon will 'trade-in' but as long as Amazon knows the demand and supply, it can make fairly safe bets on accepting trade-ins. Having said that, you may soon start seeing some Amazon ads on this site to trade-in products. Cheers!

Thank you, Lori. Thanks to our readers, like you, we can keep these quotes accurate. We will make a note in the attribution and will add the full quote from Olive Cushing Dwinell to a separate quote page. Frankly, The Story of Our Money has a lot of good stuff in there, so we will likely add a few more Banking quotes in the process. Cheers!

Thank you, Jos, for your research. We will look into the proper source. Cheers.

Great discussion, guys. We are in the process of developing a 'dialogue' section in which people can discuss subjects like statism vs individualism. In the mean time feel free to continue.

Thanks for keeping the dialogue respectful even when expressing your disagreement with others. Readers of this blog enjoy intelligent debate (as do I). Cheers.

Fred, the quote has been confirmed and the source added. The word 'deprecate' is a typo and has been replicated across the internet; here's a scan of the printed page from the Library of Congress -- you may have to zoom in to see the 'i':

'To depreciate' in this context means 'to not appreciate' or to dislike.

Thanks to all regarding the confirmation of the quote's source. After reading the transcript and finding no other backup source, the quote is deemed to be from Ron Suskind who is paraphrasing Cheney:

"What Cheney does at that moment is say that we will probably have to be a country ruled by men rather than laws in this period." - Ron Suskind

We are marking the quote as 'False.'

Thanks again for helping us keep Liberty Quotes as accurate as possible.

The quote is marked as 'attributed', and that is the way it will remain.

Phillip, there are a great many famous quotations 'attributed' to speakers -- they are 'attributed' because no source has been found. This is a famous quotation attributed to Franklin, and thus has a place in our quotations database.
