I swear i'm not going through and fact-checking people's quotes, but some quotes I know are not from the people i'm seeing credited.
"If a million people say a foolish thing, it is still a foolish thing."
This is actually a quote from Anatole France, pen name of author Jacques Anatole François Thibault. While I DO find a few hits for Bertrand Russell's version, I find a ton of results for Anatole France. Anatole France was 28 years older than Bertran Russell, so In all likelihood it could technically have been either one of them, unless we found something definitive, not just a quotes page from a quotes website. lol
