1
I learned that assistance given to the weak makes the one who gives it strong; and that oppression of the unfortunate makes one weak.
Booker T. WashingtondisputedUp from Slavery·1901

Attribution contested

Circulated everywhere as if you want to lift yourself up, lift up someone else, which appears in none of Washington's books, addresses or letters. This is the sentence in Up from Slavery it compresses. The paraphrase is not unfair, but it is not a quotation, and it drops the second half -- the claim that oppressing the unfortunate makes the oppressor weak -- which is the part he was actually arguing.

the best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen nor even touched, but just felt in the heart
Helen KellerdisputedLetter to the Rev. Phillips Brooks, in The Story of My Life·June 8, 1891

Attribution contested

The words are Keller's, but two things in the popular version are not. The wording is smoothed -- it usually appears as they must be felt with the heart -- and, more importantly, Keller does not present the thought as her own: she writes that her teacher explained it to her. On her own account the sentence belongs at least as much to Anne Sullivan.
