Reply to comment by AdmiralAkbar1 in TIL Mark Twain is often wrongly credited with the quote: "I would have written a shorter letter, but did not have the time." Earliest credit goes to French mathematician and philospher Blaise Pascal in “Lettres Provinciales,” 1657. by jeremyjava

The quote "I've been rich and I've been poor. And, believe me, rich is better" has been ascribed to almost every well-known black woman blues or jazz singer from before the 60s.
