Yep, that's where I got the information about Mark Twain! Though I was still wrong because it was actually 1919 🤦🏾‍♂️. I copied from the wrong part. But yeah, the "one form or another" link goes to the same Quote Investigator page.

The original quote, from 1710, is: Falsehood flies, and the Truth comes limping after it. But I like Twain's version better. So the date refers to his version of the quote.

I always try to double check the sources of links. Especially links attributed to Twain (as pretty much every good quote is attributed to Twain😅)
