Oh, come on now johanna - we could all look them up, but where's the fun in that?

Definitely mischievous but page 521 of what johanna? Do you have on that page of whatever book you are talking about:
Pride doesn't go before a fall.
Pride goeth before adversity and an haughty spirit before a fall?

johanna That is a truly devious response that leaves me in limbo. Are you smiling sweetly because it is there on your page 521? Honestly, I don't have a reference book with misquotes on page 521 and now I am totally intrigued. I'll have to come up with something else that might not be on your page 521. How about:

"I paint it with my prick" which was never said by Renoir?

Now you have given me a task.......

Mae West never said "Come up and see me sometime"

The love of money is the root of all evil.

Thanks mrsmopp and greatnan
I had completely forgotten about this thread.
Good fun, is it not?
Must resume my search for the painter who did not paint with his prick.

Mae West said : Why don't you come up sometime, and see me?

Greatnan you know your bible very well?

Know thine enemy!

Indeed greatnan, thank you.

johanna I'm not sure exactly the word Renoir said but it was along the lines of "I use my brush to make love" which sounds a much lovelier idea than the above mentioned misquote.

Hello absent, I finally found it.

According to this article Renoir was responsible for both the quotes you mentioned.

I could not find it on page 521 of my Oxford Dictionary of Quotations .

I always thought that the "two nations divided by a common language" was Mark Twain???
