About
Some words are remembered long after the name of the person who first said them has been forgotten. They may have been spoken in a conversation, written in a letter or a newspaper, or passed on until no one could tell where they began. Such sayings are often later put in the mouth of someone famous, such as Mark Twain, Albert Einstein or Abraham Lincoln, because a great name makes good words seem greater still. Researchers who trace quotations back to their sources often find that these famous people never said them.
Here such words stand under an unknown author, rather than under a name that would not be true. If their true author is ever found, the entry will be given to them.
