Dear luv_cathybabe, The original quotation was made by the Italian historian and statesman Francesco Guicciardini (1483?1540). In his 1529 book "Ricordi politici e civili" ("Political and Civil Memories") he wrote in paragraph LVII: "Quanto sono piú felici gli astrologi che gli altri uomini! Quelli dicendo tra cento bugie una verità, acquistano fede in modo che è creduto loro el falso; questi dicendo tra molte verità una bugia, la perdono in modo che non è piú creduto loro el vero." Translation: "How much luckier than all the rest of mankind are the astrologers! If they tell one truth among a hundred lies, they obtain so much credit that even their lies are believed. Whereas those who say between much more truth one lie lose all credit."
