Quote of the Day

"The trouble with people is not that they don't know but that they know so much that ain't so." -- Josh Billings (Henry Wheeler Shaw) (1818-1885)

I have heard this quote attributed to Mark Twain, and it has a Twainish ring to it, but the Oxford Dictionary of Quotations says it's Billings.
