Abstract:
Abraham Lincoln never said, ""You cannot fool all the people all the time."" Thomas Jefferson never said, ""That government is best which governs least."" And Horace Greeley never said, ""Go west, young man."" In They Never Said It, Paul F. Boller, Jr. and John George examine hundreds of misquotations, incorrect attributions, and blatant fabrications, outlining the origins of the quotes and revealing why we should consign them to the historical trashcan. Many of the misquotes are quite harmless. Some are inadvertent misquotes that have become popular (Shakespeare actually said, ""The best part.
