Other famous quotes that supposedly never got said:
"Let 'em eat cake. " (Somebody may have said it, but it wasn't Marie Antoinette).
"I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country". (What Nathan Hale supposedly said was "It's an officer's job to do his duty", or some such less dramatic verbiage)
Probably about half the quotes that get attributed to Abraham Lincoln fit in this category.
