My fave is "Don't believe everything you read on the Internet." -Abraham Lincoln.
UPDATED TO ADD:
I preface my Medium posts[0] with quotes, and those, I tend to research a bit more exhaustively. One of my entries[1] is prefaced by the quote "A ship in harbor is safe, but that is not what ships are built for."
The quote is by John A. Shedd[2], but is often attributed to Grace Hopper, who used it one of her speeches.
Yeah, that's why I said "I think."
LOTS of misattributed quotes out there.
