**Famous Quotes you disagree with**

1. “When the president does it, that means it is not illegal.” - Richard Nixon
2. “The ends justify the means.” - Machiavelli (allegedly)
3. “When a woman has scholarly inclinations, there is usually something wrong with her sexual organs.” - Friedrich Nietzsche
4. “In spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart.” - Anne Frank

I agree that many people are really good at heart, but not all. Poor Anne Frank probably didn’t think that all people are really good at heart after falling into the hands of the Nazis.
