"There's none so blind as they that..." - Quote by Jonathan Swift

“Falsehood flies, and truth comes limping after it, so that when men come to be undeceived, it is too late; the jest is over, and the tale hath had its effect.”

“When dunces are satiric, I take it for a panegyric.”

“A nice man is a man of nasty ideas.”

“In friendship as well as love, ignorance very often contributes more to our happiness than knowledge.”

“Through ignorance of what is good and what is bad, the life of men is greatly perplexed.”

“No one in this world, so far as I know - and I have searched the records for years, and employed agents to help me - has ever lost money by underestimating the intelligence of the great masses of the plain people.”

“Is not the truth the truth?”

“Give to a gracious message An host of tongues, but let ill tidings tell Themselves when they be felt.”

“Everything they told me as a kid has already been disproved by the same type of “experts” who made them up in the first place.”
