What some invent the rest enlarge.
Jonathan Swift
Don't pay any attention to what they write about you. Just measure it in inches.
Andy Warhol
We've heard the rumors, but it would be irresponsible to reply to those rumors at this stage.
Anthimos Thomopoulos
Enemies carry a report in form different from the original.
Plautus
A mind conscious of innocence laughs at the lies of rumor.
Latin Proverb
It (rumour) has a hundred tongues, a hundred mouths, a voice of iron.
Virgil
Rumor is a pipe Blown by surmises, jealousies, conjectures, And of so easy and so plain a stop That the blunt monster with uncounted heads, The still-discordant wavering multitude, Can play upon it.
William Shakespeare
Rumor is like bees; the more you fight them the more you don't get rid of them.
Henry Wheeler Shaw
Rumors are like ripples in a cornfield. They are ephemeral, but they do indicate which way the wind is blowing.
SUSAN J. PALMER
Rumors are seen as crimes committed by third parties. They are perfect crimes and leave not the slightest trace and require no weapons whatsoever--the defense is left without a leg to stand on.
