12 famous phrases that in fact no one has ever said

February 9 Life

The main problem with quotes from the Internet is that people immediately believe in their authenticity.

Share

0

You can listen to the article. If it's more convenient for you, turn on the podcast.

1. “I'm tired, I'm leaving” - Boris Yeltsin

This is what Boris Yeltsin allegedly said in his address to the Russians when he was leaving the presidency. The phrase was even changed to “I'm tired. I'm a flycat."

However, if you look at the recording, "I'm tired, I'm leaving" will not be found there. Yeltsin said: "Today, on the last day of the outgoing century, I am resigning."

2. “If there is no bread, let them eat cakes” — Marie Antoinette

Marie Antoinette didn't say that. The phrase "Qu'ils mangent de la brioche" appeared in Jean-Jacques Rousseau's Confessions in 1769. He attributed it to a certain French princess. Marie Antoinette was then still living in Austria, and she was only 14.

3. “There are no irreplaceable people” - Joseph Stalin

Stalin is often credited with the words “There are no irreplaceable people” or “We have no irreplaceable people”. But neither in his memoirs, nor in the recordings of speeches, such a phrase is found. The only even remotely similar statement can be found in the record of the report of the 1st Congress of the CPSU 1934

Joseph Stalin

that they are irreplaceable and that they can violate the decisions of the governing bodies with impunity. They should not hesitate to be removed from leadership positions, regardless of their merits in the past.

4. “Any cook can run the state” — Vladimir Lenin

Lenin didn't say anything like that. And in the article “Will the Bolsheviks Retain State Power?” he stated the opposite idea: both the laborer and the cook must first be trained so that they can manage something.

Vladimir Lenin

“Will the Bolsheviks retain state power”

We are not utopians. We know that any unskilled worker and any cook is not capable of immediately entering into government ... We demand that the training of state administration be carried out by conscious workers and soldiers and that it be started immediately, that is, all working people, all the poor.

5. “Wake me up in a hundred years and ask what is happening in Russia now. And I will answer - they drink and steal" - Mikhail Saltykov-Shchedrin

Such a saying is attributed either to Saltykov-Shchedrin or to Karamzin, but in this form it is not found in any of them. Apparently, the phrase was invented by Alexander Rosenbaum, who, in an interview with the Sobesednik newspaper on October 16, 2000, said the following.

Alexander Rozenbaum

Interview with the Sobesednik newspaper

Either Karamzin or Saltykov-Shchedrin said: “What will happen in 200 years? They will drink and steal!

Or the saying appeared due to an entry in the diary of Prince Peter Vyazemsky, who knew Karamzin personally.

Pyotr Vyazemsky

“Notebooks”

Karamzin said that if you answered the question “What is being done in Russia?” in one word, you would have to say: “They steal”.

6. "The end justifies the means" - Niccolo Machiavelli

Machiavelli really expressed a similar idea:

Niccolo Machiavelli"

Treatise "The Prince"

The actions of all people, and especially princes who are imprudent to challenge, are judged by the result. Therefore, give the prince the opportunity to win and keep power in the state, and the means will always be considered worthy, and everyone will approve of them, because the common people are always tempted by what things seem to be and what comes out of it.

But he did not specifically say such a phrase. Something similar was said by the German theologian Herman Buzenbaum: "To whom the goal is allowed, the means are also allowed." Obviously, the phrase “the end justifies the means” is a product of folk art.

7. "I do not agree with a single word you say, but I am ready to die for your right to say it" - Voltaire

Voltaire never said such a thing. A phrase reminiscent of this aphorism belongs to the writer Evelyn Hall and appeared in her book - a biography of the poet The Friends of Voltaire:

Evelyn Hall

The Friends of Voltaire book

I do not approve of what you say, but I will to death defend your right to say it.

Hall herself stated: “I did not want to give the impression that these are the genuine words of Voltaire, and would be surprised if they were found in any of his works. This is just a paraphrase of Voltaire's words from Essays on Tolerance - "Think and let others think too."

8. "Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar" - Sigmund Freud

There is a story on the Internet that goes something like this. Once, psychoanalytic students surrounded Freud and began to ask him questions about smoking, trying to connect the teacher's habit with a subconscious craving for oral sex with men. But Freud replied: "Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar," cutting off the students' jokes.

That's just hardly the story took place in reality. None of Freud's contemporaries said anything of the sort. Moreover, the vast majority of students adopted his smoking style in order to please their mentor, because he did not like non-smokers. So it is unlikely that they would accuse Freud of obscenities because of cigars, despite the fact that they themselves did not refuse them.

Perhaps the aphorism came from the comedian Groucho Marx. Only he compared cigars not with a penis, but with a mother's breast.

9. “Don't feel sorry for the soldiers! Women are still giving birth! - Georgy Zhukov

This phrase was attributed at different times not only to Marshal Zhukov, but also to Suvorov, Kutuzov and Peter I. But there is no evidence that at least one of them blurted out something like that.

Something similar can only be found in a letter from Empress Alexandra to Nicholas II, written on August 17, 1916 years old:

Empress Alexandra

Correspondence with Nicholas II, 1914–1917

The generals know that we still have many soldiers in Russia, and therefore they do not spare lives, but these were superbly trained troops, and everything was in vain.

10. “If there is no God, then everything is permitted” — Fyodor Dostoevsky

Dostoevsky did not say this, although the phrase fully reflects the views of his hero Ivan Karamazov. The aphorism was attributed to him by Jean-Paul Sartre in his lecture.

Jean-Paul Sartre

“Existentialism is humanism”

Dostoyevsky once wrote that “if there is no God, then everything is permitted”. This is the starting point of existentialism.

In Dostoevsky's novel "Demons" there is only a phrase uttered by the "gray-haired bourbon captain": "If there is no God, then what kind of captain am I after that?" And the answer of the atheist Kirillov: "If there is no god, then I am a god."

11. "God Helps Those Who Help Themselves" - Bible

In a 2001 poll, 82% of Americans thought it was a quotation from the Bible. However, a simple search in its text will tell you that such a phrase is not there.

This idea is found in ancient sources - "Hippolytus" by Euripides, "Metamorphoses" by Ovid and Aesop. And in a more familiar form, the aphorism can be found in Algernon Sidney in the book Discourses on Government: "God helps those who take care of themselves."

12. "Divide and Conquer" - Julius Caesar

Neither Caesar nor other Roman rulers and senators could find such an aphorism. It is absent from classical Roman texts. It is possible that Machiavelli, mentioned above, said something like this - he owns the following phrase:

Niccolò Machiavelli

“Discourses on the first decade of Titus Livius”

Divide what you manage.

But that's exactly "Divide and Conquer" neither Caesar nor Machiavelli said.

Do you have examples of phrases that no one actually said? The sayings of Jason Statham are not accepted, they are all true.

"I'm tired. I'm leaving." German coach Wolfgang Pichler talks about victories, liars and doping

One of the most discussed coaches in Russia told how much he raised the Swedish biathlon, called Grigory Rodchenkov a liar and answered the question whether he considers Mikhail Prokhorov his friend

Wolfgang Pichler has a few months left in biathlon: at the end of the season, the German will end his coaching career. In an interview with TASS, one of the most discussed coaches in Russia told how long it took to get Swedish biathlon off its knees, called Grigory Rodchenkov a liar, spoke about disagreements with Sebastian Samuelsson on the topic of doping in Russian sports and answered the question whether he considers Mikhail Prokhorov his friend .

- Even before the relay races, were you satisfied with the results of your team at this World Championship? Hanna Oeberg's gold in the individual race and the bronze she won in pair with Sebastian Samuelsson in the single-mix is ​​a success?

— This is a great success! Moreover, here we have not only gold and bronze medals, but also many fourth, fifth, sixth places. Such a result cannot but cause satisfaction.

— Initially, what did you expect?

- For one medal of any value.

- Amazing. You said before the Games in Pyeongchang that winning one Olympic medal would be a huge achievement. As a result, the Swedish team took two gold and two silver. Why such modesty?

— You have to be realistic in biathlon, it is very difficult to win a medal in this sport. In one of the races, you can become both the first and the tenth, and it is impossible to predict in advance how everything will turn out.

Renewed hopes. Russian biathletes won three World Championship medals for the first time in eight years

- But the result is obtained. Do you feel like the king of biathlon?

— No, I don't consider myself the king of biathlon. But I am proud that the athletes I have coached have won so many medals in their lives. I have always been able to bring them to the main starts of the season in great shape. Although when I worked in Russia, I heard a lot of lies addressed to me, for example, from Dmitry Guberniev.

So four years ago I took over a new team that was 13th in the Women's Nations Cup and 14th in the Men's. Compared to Russia, we had much less money, much less. But we began to work methodically, which brought us four medals at the Olympics. And this allows us to consider ourselves one of the strongest teams. This, in particular, was proved by the recent European Championship, where we won six medals, three of which were of the highest value. And after that they successfully performed at the home world championship. I am satisfied.

— Is there any satisfaction in shaming critics in Russia?

— I won’t talk about Guberniev personally, I’ll just note that there is one peculiarity in Russian biathlon: everyone is constantly at war with each other. But on the other hand, there were those in Russia who always supported me. For example, ask the opinion of Pavel Rostovtsev or Olga Zaitseva, they have always been on my side.

— Share the secrets of your success, what allows the Swedes to perform so well now?

— We do not have 100 talented athletes from which we could choose the strongest, so we rely on specific athletes, we try to bring them to the main start in the best shape. If you look at my entire career, you will notice that I was able to do this - at the main competitions, my athletes were always in order. Of course, sometimes it all comes down to luck. Like at the 2013 World Championships in the Czech Republic, in Nove Mesto. Then the Russian team was in super shape, but we were chased by fourth or fifth places.

— What do you think about Oeberg's decision not to use his phone while playing at the World Championships? Do these methods really help athletes perform better?

— Yes, she did the right thing. This helped her avoid additional pressure. It is very important for athletes to focus on the competition. If you are constantly on social media, it can drive you crazy.

Medal without Garanichev. Russian biathletes became third at the World Cup

— By the way, there was a lot of talk about your salary in the Russian team. Can you tell me the size now?

— I won't name a number, but the salary was very good.

- Do you get more or less in the Swedish national team?

- Much less. It’s even difficult to compare, in Russia I had just a super salary. But it's not even about her. I spent a good time in Russia. And remembering that period, I can say that it really upset me when I saw how stupid those who opposed Sergey Kushchenko and Mikhail Prokhorov behaved. These people organized the work in Russian biathlon very professionally.

Look at the result of the Sochi Olympics, where four medals were won. What now? Medals, I repeat, in biathlon are not given just like that. So their work was really professional.

Therefore, now as head of the Russian Biathlon Union, I would like to see Viktor Maigurov, who could count on Prokhorov's support. If Rostovtsev had also joined them, a very good team could have turned out in Russia.

— What can you say about the new President of the Russian Biathlon Union Vladimir Drachev?

— Of course, I know him, but I personally don't know him that well. It's just that Maygurov is well known in the world biathlon, he is a solid player on the international arena, he has a lot of experience.

— Have you noticed new names in the Russian team?

— There are a lot of talented athletes in the Russian team, and I think the coaches are doing a good job. But it's not easy to win. And it was impossible to count on Anton Shipulin alone all the time. Now Alexander Loginov shows that he is also able to fight for high places.

So there are no problems with the coaches in the Russian national team now. Although I judge solely on the basis of what I can see from the outside, I do not know all the nuances. But I consider Khovantsev a good coach, he has a lot of experience.

Pichler gave IBU information about Rodchenkov's false testimonies

— What about you? Are you definitely ending your coaching career after the season?

— I am definitely leaving the post of head coach. I won't change my mind.

— Why?

- I'm tired. I can't work like this anymore.

- Perhaps you will train someone individually?

- No, I also exclude this option. I will end my career, start receiving a pension. Yes, I will continue to work in the Swedish biathlon in some capacity, but I will not disclose the details for now.

- Any news from the independent commission of the International Biathlon Union, which received evidence from you, testifying to the false statements of Grigory Rodchenkov?

— No, no news yet, but things are moving in the right direction.

— By the way, are you satisfied with the composition of this commission? As far as I know, it was important for you that there were no US or Canadian representatives there.

— Yes, everything is true, it is important for me. I believe that this will allow her to remain neutral.

— Do you know the dates when they can sum up the results of this trial?

- No, but I'm sure that my athletes (Olga Zaitseva and Yana Romanova - TASS note) did nothing wrong. Rodchenkov, who initiated all this, is simply lying, stating that Zaitseva was doping.

Did you discuss this with Samuelsson? He's sure it's all true.

— Yes, we discussed this, but we live in a democratic society and everyone has the right to express their opinion. If he thinks so, then he has every right to say so. But I have my own truth.

Biathlete Samuelsson said that he was fighting not against Russian sports, but against doping

- Doesn't this interfere with your work?

— We don't discuss this all the time, the Russian question is not so important for us. My work is the most important for me.

I just hope things are getting better now.

- Do you also share his position on Loginov? As you know, he believes that the Russian biathlete should not compete.

- I have a different position on this issue. It's like a prison: he served his sentence and now has every right to speak. But I agree that erythropoietin use should be punished with a life ban. But there is no such thing in the rules, so he served his sentence and now competes. Everything is fine. In general, I think that this topic should not be so actively discussed.

— How do you generally feel about the fact that Samuelsson is some kind of ambassador for the World Anti-Doping Agency, constantly speaking on his behalf? Doesn't that distract him from the sport?

- Hard to say. But we need such people, of this I am sure. If people are silent, then the world does not move forward. So it's important, but it's hard at the same time.

— And at the same time he is very young, he is only 21. Do you see him as a sports official in the future?

— I don't even know, I didn't think about it. But he is a leader, he has this human quality.

— You said that, despite everything, you have many friends in Russia. Will you visit our country in the future?

- I really hope so. When I finish my career, I will definitely visit Russia. I plan to give several lectures for large companies as part of the Follow Your Dreams project.

I really have many good friends in Russia. As you know, friends are divided into two categories, and so my friends are real.

Drachev: Russian biathlon is slowly coming to life, it is no longer hopelessly ill

— Is Mikhail Prokhorov one of them?

— I can't say that he is my friend, but I can trust him. I think we treat each other with respect.

I generally like him. After all, there is a lot of talk about Russian oligarchs around. I know only one - Mikhail, and I can say that he is an absolutely normal guy. I love that he is so friendly. It's unbelievable that with so much money he's still a normal person.

It's a pity that he is no longer involved in political life in Russia, he could become a very good politician: he knows perfectly well the processes that are taking place in the world, he has good ideas.

— Will you succumb to politics? Will you help your brother, who is the mayor of Ruhpolding?

— No, I will have my own project — I will help all people. It's about charity. I want to help people deal with problems.

— You will be welcome in Russia.

— Russia is a special country. I always tell people that they have to go there to understand this country. It is completely different, which is why we cannot impose our policy on it. Therefore, the problems are different.

— The World Cup gave many people the opportunity to get to know Russia. Didn't you come yourself?

- No, but of course I watched the championship - in Germany everyone watches football.
