The Walrus at work BS: Great Misquotations (140* d) RE: BS: Great Misquotations 30 Jan 02

Genie,

Isn't the Churchill quote "I can offer you nothing but blood, toil, tears and sweat..."

Lyndi-Loo

..."Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned" (often misquoted as "a woman's scorn".... I seem to remember this quote as:

"Earth knows no like Love to Hatred turned,
Nor Hell no fury like a woman spurned."

I get annoyed by people quoting "East is East and West is Weest and never the twain shall meet" and using it to justify prejudice (by ignoring the rest of the verse)

OH, EAST is East, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet,
Till Earth and Sky stand presently at God's great Judgment Seat;
But there is neither East nor West, Border, nor Breed, nor Birth,
When two strong men stand face to face, tho' they come from the ends of the earth!

Walrus
