Let\u2019s start with the most famous misquotes<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. A rose by any other name smells just as sweet.<\/em><\/strong> <\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n\nThe right quote:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cA rose by another name would smell as sweet.\u201d<\/strong>\u202f<\/em> <\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\nThis is a popular reference to William Shakespeare\u2019s play Romeo and Juliet. In a scene, Juliet seems to argue that it does not matter that Romeo is from her family’s rival house of Montague, that is, that he is named “Montague”.\u202f <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This quote is often used to imply that names do not hold any worth. They are just labels that evolve with time. Labels which are used to distinguish one thing from another.\u202f<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The quote is indeed true.

\u202f\u202f2.\u202f Money is the root of all evil.<\/em><\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\u202fThe right quote: <\/strong>\u202f\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cFor the love of money is the root of all evil.\u201d<\/strong> <\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\nThis is a verse from the Holy Bible. It holds an implicit meaning. Love and greed for money will make a man go to any extent even to the point of committing a sin. But it has always been misused that money itself is the cause of all evil.\u202f <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u202fIf greed is greater than compassion, there will always be suffering.\u202f <\/p>\n\n\n\n
There\u2019s nothing wrong with money. But when it starts to control our actions that\u2019s when it makes a man do evil things. Specifically, the possession of money itself is not a bad thing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing.\u202f<\/em><\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\u202f<\/em>The right quote: <\/strong><\/p>\n\u201cA little learning is a dangerous thing.\u201d – <\/strong>Alexander Pope. Essay on Criticism, in 1709.\u202f <\/em> <\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\nKnowledge<\/a><\/em> and<\/a> Learning<\/a> <\/em>cannot be used interchangeably because the nuances of vocabulary play a major role. Knowledge<\/em> refers to the theoretical concepts that one knows. Whereas\u202f <\/p>\n\n\n\nLearning <\/em>refers to practical aspects.\u202f <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe words are twisted, and the difference is very subtle. Still, a misquote is a misquote. Pope meant that one can become falsely overconfident about his expertise on a subject.\u202f <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A person should do extensive research before calling oneself an expert on something.\u202f <\/p>\n\n\n\n
