Now I don't believe I ever wanna see the morning”

“Don't believe everything you read on the Internet.”

Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865) 16th President of the United States

This quote is frequently purposefully misattributed to Lincoln or others long dead before the age of the internet in order to emphasize its point using humour; not all such attributions, or other claims, found on the Internet are as obviously flawed. " "Cite and sound: the pleasures and pitfalls of quoting people", by Tom Calverley, The Guardian (14 October 2014) http://www.theguardian.com/media/mind-your-language/2014/oct/14/mind-your-language-quotations
Variations:
Don't believe everything you read online.
Don't trust everything you see on the Internet.
Everything you read on the Internet is true.
The trouble with quotes on the internet is that you never know whether or not they're genuine.
