[Graham Breeze]

The principle is the same though.

Further research suggests that Graham is also wrong (a misquote attributed to Guterman) and he actually said "Think for yourselves and let others enjoy the privilege to do so too"

Not wrong. I am aware of the other documentary source for what has become the received wisdom of what Voltaire did not actually say.

Most "everyday" quotations are wrong- they are corrupted over time and misuse and if the sense is the same that does not matter too much- but when great minds are quoted by name I feel one should check what they actually did utter before using them in one's defence.

Fortunately, within fell running circles, there is little doubt on the two references I most often use, "...pour encourager les autres...." with regard to the FRA disciplinary process and, of course, "The best is the enemy of the good".
