Re: Having difficulty sourcing this famous quote...

[Rosalind Rhode <rosalind9@earthlink.net>]

Hi, I'm new to this list and am not a quotes afficionado, but i actually
think this is a paraphrase/adaptation of a quote by Jesus (aka "Christ"
to some) -- at least i've seen it attributed to him.  Hope that's
helpful. - Ros R.

p.s. i'd be interested to know what you find out.
