Misquotes

Apparently several quotes often attributed to Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson are incorrect.

First of all, the Benjamin Franklin one. As referenced by Wikiquote and backed up by some scholarly research, this is the correct quote: "Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." Certainly that's different than the one generally seen floating about on the Net.

Jefferson is the subject of many mis-attributed quotes. One often attributed to him is: "When the government fears the people, there is liberty; When the people fear the government, there is tyranny." I rather liked that one, too, but apparently he didn't say it (also, Wikiquote).

Oh yeah, Nietzsche is also frequently misquoted. The proper quote is: "Was ihn nicht umbringt, macht ihn stärker" (What does not kill him, makes him stronger.)
