Anybody remember how this quote really goes?

Question

"Don't trust what you read and trust half of what you hear"?? I heard a quote like this but I can't remember what it said exactly. Does anyone know?

Answer 1

Marvin Gaye wrote a song "I heard it through the grapevine" and there is a line that goes:

'People say believe half of what you see
Son, and none of what you hear'

Its a saying that's been around for years. Dinah Mulock Craik was the first one who penned it though.

Answer 2

A book by Reagan C.Ashbaugh about Wall Street, called "In the RED."
