Pretty interesting. The slight differences in wording obviously doesn't mean a lot. Seems like it's been a known bit of wisdom for quite a long time.

It is proper to give credit to the author but as noted above, that is; in and of itself: a daunting task. Should a person delay the timely application of the Text when uncertain? I say deliver the message and say "attributed to" whoever or some dead guy. It is also poor form to create speculation the user originated it. The quote in question, like thousands of others; may well have been spoken, misspoken, written and altered numerous times. Quotes should stand on the wisdom or significance of the Text. Author's of quotes can add an authoritative or wise source credentials but self truth and inspiration remains the the heart of the Text.

 

[fl57caveman]

"You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred. You cannot build character and courage by taking away people's initiative and independence. You cannot help people permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves."

— Abraham Lincoln

 

[Ross7]

“Your survival isn’t based on how much of a bad ass you are, but how well you can keep from irritating the wrong people.”

- author and self-defense expert Marc MacYoung

 

[fl57caveman]

"During the course of administration, and in order to disturb it, the artillery of the press has been levelled against us, charged with whatsoever its licentiousness could devise or dare. These abuses of an institution so important to freedom and science are deeply to be regretted, inasmuch as they tend to lessen its usefulness and to sap its safety."

—Thomas Jefferson (1805)

 

[fl57caveman]

“By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest.”

—CONFUCIUS

 

[fl57caveman]

They are in front of us, behind us, and we are flanked on both sides by an enemy that outnumbers us 29:1. They can’t get away from us now!” “Great. Now we can shoot at them from every direction.”
