Sorry your hide is chapped Steve. Get some vasaline. Never heard of your sources that are similar to what I've been saying for decades so it's not plagiarism. I was just passing on what I've said in church and in training.

Oh, man.

“Lying to ourselves is more deeply ingrained than lying to others.”
― Dostoyevsky.

"When all else fails, there's always delusion." - Conan O'Brian

Even paraphrasing someone else's words or ideas without proper citation is plagiarism. If you're paraphrasing, it's not a quote, so it doesn't need quotation marks. But changing words doesn't make it your own idea. In an academic paper, paraphrasing without proper citation would be plagiarism, but more importantly here, it's just really... really lame.

Also, you don't need to know the source of something to know that the source isn't you.

 

[Kong Soo Do]

Your just being an idiot Steve, and taking the thread off course. This isn't an academic paper. No need for a citation on a quote you didn't know existed that is similar to what you've personally said for years. You're just being, well...anal. How about not being a quote-nazi and contribute to the thread?

Ask not what your martial arts board can do for you, ask what you can do for your martial arts board - me

I have not yet begun to quote - me

I have come here today to chew bubble gum and quote martial artsy stuff...and I'm all out of bubble gum - me

 

[Steve]

Failure to accord credit to anyone for what he may have done is a great weakness in any man. - William Howard Taft

 

[CB Jones]

I was not delivered unto this world in defeat, nor does failure course in my veins. I am not a sheep waiting to be prodded by my shepherd. I am a lion and I refuse to talk, to walk, to sleep with the sheep. I will hear not those who weep and complain, for their disease is contagious. Let them join the sheep. The slaughterhouse of failure is not my destiny.

I will persist until I succeed.

Og Mandino

If you'd like to continue this via PM I'd be happy to oblige. That way the man's thread doesn't get cluttered or side tracked.

 

[Steve]

Truly, if you give credit where due, there's nothing to discuss. Do the right thing going forward. Stealing other peoples' quotes and attributing them to yourself is just... really dishonest. Speaks to character.

"It is discouraging how many people are shocked by honesty and how few by deceit." - Noel Coward

"Life comes down to honesty and doing what's right. That's what's most important." - Bob Feller

"Honesty is something you can't wear out." - Waylon Jennings (Cousin of mine, by the by)

 

[Kong Soo Do]

Well, as I stated quite clearly, nothing you've posted applies to me. In any way, shape or form. Finding quotes that are 'kinda' like what I said from people I've not heard of is meaningless and a waste of time in this thread. I also gave several quotes and did attribute credit to who said them. If that still bothers you Steve, well, too be honest is of little concern to me. I'm done with you now in this thread because;

If a wise man contendeth with a foolish man, whether he rage or laugh, there is no rest. - God

And if you don't want to converse via PM;

A coward dies a thousand times before his death, but the valiant taste of death but once. - William Shakespeare

On self awareness: “You can't get away from yourself by moving from one place to another.” - Ernest Hemingway

On doing the right thing: "Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better." - Maya Angelou

On character: "The final forming of a person's character lies in their own hands." - Anne Frank

 

[Brian R. VanCise]

Okay I will try to get the thread back on track and let the quoting back and forth at each other die a slow death.

Light That Mother Fu&*er Up - me

Okay now let's get to quoting without the subtle jabs!

Battle not with monsters, lest ye become a monster, and if you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.

[JR 137]

I hate that quote. (Not you or him, just the quote)

I always found it funny when he'd say that in his WWF commentator days.

When I was wrestling in high school, our coach had us write down inspirational quotes, and the best one would be on the back of our t-shirts. I wrote that one down because I was so sick of seeing the same handful of quotes on everyone else's shirts. It was getting old - "Go hard or go home!" "Respect all, fear none!" and all the other cliches.

Mine was the second or third one he read. He said "forget it; no stupid quotes like everyone else."
