No, this is false.

Just because you are using your own words does not mean that you're not copying or stealing the ideas of others. So even if you paraphrase, you should give the source of the idea. In general it's always good to give a reference - I don't think that it is ever a bad thing, so you can do nothing wrong if you do it!
