False Information

Famous quotes containing the words false and/or information:

    Rhyme, the rack of finest wits,
    That expresseth but by fits
    True conceit,
    Spoiling senses of their treasure,
    Cozening judgment with a measure,
    But false weight;
    Wresting words from their true calling;
    Propping verse for fear of falling
    To the ground;
    Jointing syllables, drowning letters,
    Fastening vowels, as with fetters
    They were bound!
    Ben Jonson (1572–1637)

    I believe it has been said that one copy of The Times contains more useful information than the whole of the historical works of Thucydides.
    Richard Cobden (1804–1865)
