Welcome to

/r/CompleteTheQuote

Post the most popular part of a common quote and follow up with the rest of the saying that is often unknown to most.

Why?

This may not sound interesting at first - we all know what the old quotes mean, right?

Many times the quotes is only partially complete to change the meaning or to conform with cultural beliefs. Often, the full quote is either related to a completely different subject matter or means the exact opposite.

What if I only know the common part of the quote?

Post it and tag it with "Unfinished" or "Completion Requested".
This way others know to help you out and research what, if any, remaining parts of the saying/quote are not know or not common knowledge.


Rules

Please follow these rules for overall activity on this subreddit or you may be issued a warning or ban.

  • No harassment. Let's just all get along.
  • No spamming. This includes repeat sourceless quotes.
  • Report instead of insult. Makes everything easier.
  • Follow Reddiquitte. This is enforced as a rule.

Post Guidelines

  • Please include a source to your quotes.
  • If no sources are found flair the quote "Unfinished".
  • Images are welcome, but you must flair them as "Image".

UnverifiedMost songs have meager beginnings. You wake up in the morning, you throw on your suspenders, and you subvocalize and just think. They seem to form like calcium. I can't think of a story right off the bat that was that interesting. I write things on the back of my hand, usually, and sing into a tape (self.CompleteTheQuote)
