A great way for a gritty hero to lend gravitas to their argument, or sound like they are, is to spout an aphorism. But sometimes nothing anyone famous said will do, so they just make something up on the spot or rehash something they themself have previously said. Often their interlocutor will tentatively attribute the quote to one author or another, and they'll admit, deadpan-style, that the aphorism is really their own. Compare Appeal to Familial Wisdom (when the character quotes a family member) and You Know Who Said That? (when they quote someone else surprising). |

Discworld: In Men at Arms, Angua (in wolf form) attends what's essentially a dog supremacist/anti-human rally. She speaks to a poodle who says something that sounds like a quote and asks if the Hitler analogue said it.... In Making Money, Moist says at one point "Does not a penny to the widow outshine the unconquered sun?" When asked what it means, he admits he has no idea, but it sounds impressive. |

Big Trouble in Little China: Jack Burton would constantly begin his words of wisdom with "Remember what old Jack Burton says at a time like this...". This is trope is invoked in the climax when he faces down the Big Bad and does this, only to have the villains ask, "Who?". Jack then growls, "Jack Burton... me!". | |

How I Met Your Mother: A Running Gag involving Barney is that any time he comes up with a new rule, catchphrase or concept that he tells his friends will help the live life to the fullest, he attributes its invention to an important historical figure like the Founding Fathers of the United States or Jesus Christ, rather than himself. None of them ever believe him. | |
