Abraham Lincoln never said, "You can fool all the people all the time." Horace Greeley never said, "Go west, young man." This valuable debunking reference examines hundreds of misquotations, incorrect attributions, and out-and-out fabrications (ranging from harmless to blatantly malicious), outlining the origins of the quotes and revealing why they should be consigned to the historical trash can.
