Famous Quotes That People Have Always
Misinterpreted
"I cannot tell a lie; it was I who chopped down the
cherry tree" – George Washington ©Photo Credit: Tony Baggett/Shutterstock
George Washington never said this quote and instead, it was
made up by the biographer Parson Weems. It was supposed to improve George
Washington’s reputation and make him seem more honest. There’s no evidence to
show that Washington ever said this quote and instead, it’s seen as being a
quote on morality.
Famous Historical Myths That People
Still Believe Today

The term "Caesarean section" is often linked to

performed only when the mother did not survive childbirth. His mother, Aurelia,
lived long after his birth, proving this myth false.
