Glurge attributed to Mark Twain

Applause.
:slight_smile:

A question - would a discussion on why people misattribute “inspirational” quotes to people who almost certainly didn’t make them be appropriate for here, or should I start a new thread?

I think it’s an interesting topic, and deserves its own thread.

My WAG answer: because the inspirational quote sounds so much more inspiring if it’s coming from Abraham Lincoln instead of the columnist for the Sioux Falls Weekly Fishwrap.

“I wish god would use an internet blog, these stones are Heavy”. Moses.

It looks like a severe redux of Desiderata. eg “Do not feign affection” > Kiss Slowly.

I’ve started the thread here, in case anyone is interested or would like to contribute.

and I would be afraid to Google this, no matter how much I might wonder about the gentle tickle of Mr. Clemens resplendent white moustache.

Once again, a lie has travelled half way around the world while the truth is still putting its boots on.

(as Mark Twain also never said).
