Did Graham Chapman say 'Consider the lilies' in Life of Brian? That film is what's coming to my mind.

When you consider the lilies of the field you only think of the quotation that 'consider the lilies of the field' was taken from? 😛

I rarely ponder upon the source of a quotation, and the "consider" suggested to me that I was supposed to ponder upon the actual lilies, not the original source. Was I wrong?

I am considering the Lilie of the field of course.

What else should occur?

I'm not sure about what "should" occur, but in some case what occurs next seems to be people copy pasting the verse it comes from here and then not saying anything about it.

That beats creating an entire thread and then not saying anything about it.
