Quote Error

April 16th, 2008

Recently one of our great members, Doug Bardwell, was kind enough to point out that the “quote” I recently used from Petronius Arbiter is not accurate. There is no credible evidence that it is Arbiter’s, or anyone else’s, for that matter. It really was too good to be true.

I like quotes, but I failed to validate the provenance of this one. I won’t use it again.

I regret my error.

Digg!    Stumble it!

    This is a perfect example of the style and effect of a great apology. For more information, and why this is so remarkable in today’s workplace, check out the cast on “Do YOU Need to Apologize?” at http://www.manager-tools.com/2006/10/do-you-need-to-apologize/

    Thanks again for teaching us by your example.

    Misquotations are the only quotations that are never misquoted.
