“Never argue with stupids…” Mark Twain didn’t say that! Jean Cocteau, Brynner, or Boyle did

Here is the reality of one of the most popular and probably the greatest misquoted statement even more than the statements of Prophet Mohammed PBUH or Prophet Moses A by enemies of Muslims, and by Jews and Zionists respectively:

“NEVER ARGUE WITH STUPID PEOPLE. THEY WILL DRAG YOU DOWN TO THEIR LEVEL AND BEAT YOU WITH EXPERIENCE.”

And, did Mark Twain really say that? NO research shows that Mr. Twain ever said that! In fact, either Jean Cocteau, a great French writer and filmmaker, or his longtime friend Yul Brynner, who continued his friendship with Cocteau even after moving to the US and becoming a Hollywood icon, or Hal Boyle, the Pulitzer prize winning reporter for Associated Press on 13th November, 1956 who published a profile of Brynner.

“Never argue with…” Mark Twain didn’t say that! The correct attribution is to Cocteau, Brynner, and Boyle
