Nothing but experience could evince the frequency of false information, or enable any man to conceive that so many groundless reports should be propagated, as every man of eminence may hear of himself. Some men relate what they think, as what they know; some men of confused memory and habitual inaccuracy, ascribe to one man what belongs to another; and some talk on, without thought or care, a few men are sufficient to broach falsehoods, which are afterwards innocently diffused by successive relaters.
- Samuel Johnson, as reported by James Boswell, Life of Johnson, 1778
