Editor's Note:
The below is from the Wikipedia entry on Voltaire:
It is dangerous to be right in matters where established men are wrong.
* Original: Il est dangereux d’avoir raison dans des choses où des hommes accrédités ont tort.
* Source: "Catalogue pour la plupart des écrivains français qui ont paru dans Le Siècle de Louis XIV, pour servir à l'histoire littéraire de ce temps," Le Siècle de Louis XIV (1752)
* Note: The most frequently attributed variant of this quote is: It is dangerous to be right when the government is wrong.
