Truth

  • To quote from Josh Billings: ” Tis better not to know so much, than to know so much that ain’t so.”
  • If life insurance truths have not been widely disseminated and assimilated, life-insurance untruths have.
  • Lack of knowledge as to what is so about life insurance has been offset by excess information coined and circulated by a sensational press as to what is not so.
    • It is a case, therefore, of knowing both too little and too much at the same time.  (p29)
