QUOTATION, n. The truth, Dr. Goebbels. I repeat ... See BRIDGE TO NOWHERE, Sarah. See also THE ECONOMY IS FUNDAMENTALLY SOUND, Herbert, I mean George.
Respectable plagiarism.
The elevation of another fool's wisdom to greater depth. According to Ambrose Bierce, "The act of errogenously repeating the words of another or the words so echoed."

The big lie, Amoeba? So many to choose from.

Very clever quotation, Ariel. Y'all, Ariel is quoting the previous time I did this word is a gentle way of saying my effort is getting slack here.
sad but true,my first thought here is Joseph Goebbels,but guess that is because of the last eight years, tell a lie(self serving quote) and repeat it until it is thought by(the uninformed,by choice) many to be a truth....Prosperity-begins in the heart(not in the wallet),then can spread to the body America.....Peace Always..............................
When my brain is mired in cement, I like to turn to Mark Twain for the comfort of his quotations:
"It is my belief that nearly any invented quotation, played with confidence, stands a good chance to deceive."

Bear, I keep mine in my wallet.
Quoting Twain on quotation, Terry, is your new job.
TLP, "I bet you say that to all the boys"
Aral, I would see it as preturnaturally developed index and middle fingers. It's probably what made you a good shortstop.
Bear, thank you. Round numbers are my favorite.
Terry, see, and Wednesday are worth less and less. You got out at the right time.
