Author's note: This post has been updated to include more accurate information about the origin of these quotes and their contexts.

Recently, it’s been coming up a lot that certain phrases, idioms and quotes have received somewhat of a “telephone game” treatment. These quotes have been given additions to add to their original meaning. This most likely happened because they were passed on over time and shared using different translations. Many people may not have agreed with the original meanings or found the opposition to be true for them personally.
