I didn't realise how many fake quotes he had attributed to him. Reminds me a bit of the many fake Buddha quotes that do the rounds. Some are obviously just the sort of guff you'd read on Instagram hovering over a naff picture of a sunset. Others are harder to detect and may be a subtle distortion or sloppy transcription rather than a total fabrication.

Goes to show how sceptical we must be when reading things online, even when they sound plausible. As the late great Abraham Lincoln once said according to something I read recently... "The problem with quotes found on the internet is that many simply are not true".
