Revision as of 20:31, 28 June 2006
I spent several hours trying to track down exactly where Mandela spoke this, as it is such a beautiful statement, and I wanted to really know if that was how Mandela thought. Much to my disappointment, after doing numerous word searches through his speech database, it became clear that he did not ever say this in any of his recorded speeches. Perhaps somebody should write to him and tell him about the story of this whole mis-quote, so he can put it into one of his future speeches!!!! Scott P. 12:03, Apr 14, 2005 (UTC)
- There are extreme WP:NOR and NPOV issues here. The article claims: "A certain passage from her book is possibly one of the most widely misquoted passages in modern history" needs to be directly attributed. As it stands, it is merely an offhand claim, which is only made POV by its assertion that its "one of the most misquoted"-SV|t 06:46, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Thank you for pointing out the need for substantiation
Dear Steve,
You are indeed correct that the way this was worded, it appeared to be mere conjecture. I have since inserted substantiating information, plus additional information about Mrs. Williamson.
Thanks,

Not nearly complete...
I'm unclear on a lot of the details, but she was also a minister(for lack of a better word) at the Church of Today (later the Church of Renaissance Unity) in Warren Michigan. There was also a rather ugly departure from the church. Oh yes, it also had a TV show; "Sunday's With Marianne" I believe. I'm not much for elegant wording, so if somebody else wanted to add this in...yeah.
I stuck the stub tag on there. This article really needs more to it. I would do it myself, but you know, exam time :P Limited Moon
Performed Merge
The book had it's own article with very little information. It is doubtful this person meets WP:BIO, but a merge will at least put the information in one place. The article on the book has very little. Ste4k 18:34, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
