Yes, but more of what?

The trouble with this kind of second-hand, context-free quote is that the speaker is not around to stop people twisting their words. I’m not accusing you of doing that, but honestly I hate the whole cottage industry of mining famous people’s utterances and dredging up fragments of speech or writing that they never intended to be treated as epigrams as if they are some kind of distillation of wisdom.
