It’s not that you misquoted a line or something like that. The dictionary quote is an extremely well known saying that originated in the Bible.

Actually no. That quote is from the bible.
Zapp’s quote is “The spirit is willing, but the flesh is spongy and bruised.”
Where do you think the bible got it from?
The original Klingon of course
