2. Been repeating those words to myself a lot lately. n/t

3. Great saying, often attributed to Ghandi on the internet, but no evidence he ever said or wrote it.

4. It doesn't really matter does it?

[merrily]

5. IMO, it does matter if it is attributed to Ghandi, because that bit is probably not true,

I don't think re-publishing things are probably not true is a good thing. Do you?

I don't think setting the record straight is a bad thing. Do you?

It's a great saying. It can stand on its own, yet it's attributed to Ghandi in order to make it seem more important or something. I'm not entirely sure why people do things like that.



Another common one is "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over while expecting a different result." That is something Einstein would never have said, yet it gets attributed to him all the time. I think that's unjust to Einstein, as well as being false.

6. Like I said, it doesn't really matter who said it

You're just being divisive.

7. Divisive? Are you serious? You asked me if it mattered and I answered.
