1
We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
AristotlemisattributedThe Story of Philosophy, by Will Durant·1926

Wrongly attributed

This is Will Durant, not Aristotle, and Durant is not translating -- he is summarising the Nicomachean Ethics in his own words and marking the difference by dropping the quotation marks he uses on either side of it. The nearest thing in Aristotle is that virtues are formed in a man by his doing the actions, which Durant does put in quotation marks in the same sentence. The memorable half is the half Durant wrote. It usually circulates with a therefore inserted and the excellence turned into a moral instruction, neither of which is in the book.

God helps them that help themselves, as Poor Richard says.
Benjamin FranklindisputedFranklin's Way to Wealth; or, Poor Richard Improved·1758

Attribution contested

Quoted constantly as scripture. It is nowhere in the Bible, which says something close to the opposite in several places. Franklin printed it in Poor Richard's Almanack and gathered it here in 1758, but he did not coin it either: he presents it as an existing proverb, and versions of it appear in Algernon Sidney's Discourses in 1698 and, earlier still, in Aesop.

11
If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.
Henry David ThoreauverifiedWalden·1854

Character, says Novalis, in one of his questionable aphorisms, character is destiny. But not the whole of our destiny.
HeraclitusmisattributedThe Mill on the Floss, by George Eliot·1860

Wrongly attributed

Character is destiny is routinely credited to Heraclitus, on the strength of a fragment usually given as a man's character is his fate. That translation is itself contested, and the English aphorism does not come from it: it comes from Novalis, and reached English readers through George Eliot, who quotes him here in 1860 and immediately qualifies it. The half everyone drops is the half Eliot wrote.

14
If he is perplexed, unhappy, restless, or wretched, let him look to himself, for there and nowhere else is the source of all his trouble.
James AllenverifiedThe Mastery of Destiny·1909
