What are some of your favorite misquotes? Things that everyone thinks someone said but really it was someone else (or there is no evidence of them saying it). I always liked:
Nothing is true, All is permitted -Hassan I Sabbah
or
If you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares back at you - Nietzsche

A few movie ones

Humphrey Bogart never said "Play it again Sam"
Oliver hardy never said "Well this is another fine mess you've gotten me in to Stanley"
Jimmy Cagney never said "You dirty Rat!"
Darth Vader never said "Luke I am your Father"
NO Sherlock Holmes ever in film, TV or books ever said "Elementary my dear Watson"
Jimmy Durante (this one is showing my age) never said "Dat's no Banana dats my nose"
Charlie Chaplin never ever called his famous character "The Tramp"

"Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country." plagiarized from Cicero, who may well have plagiarized it himself.

My mother misquoted all the time. “Never lick a gift horse in the mouth. Shoot just never lick a horse period”. And my favorite “You can't teach a dead dog new tricks”
