redjambo Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Eureka! - Archimedes Veni vidi vici - Julius Caesar Bugger Bognor - George V Carpe diem - Horace Kiss me Hardy - Nelson “The unspeakable in pursuit of the uneatable!” - Oscar Wilde "If an injury has to be done to a man, it should be so severe that his vengeance need not be feared" - Machiavelli Note that particularly for very old quotes, it may be more of a generally-accepted attribution rather than a fact, so you're going to have phrase your quiz question accordingly.

I P Knightley Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 I used to run a quiz from time to time so have a few; depending on the audience, you could give a clue, such as, "Which sports person said..." "His hands can't hit what his eyes can't see. Now you see me, now you don't" - Muhammed Ali. It's the continuation of 'floats like a butterfly, stings like a bee' not everyone knows it but some can work it out. Good for a quiz. "Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe." - Bertie Einstein. "Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much." - Oscar Wilde "I never drink coffee at lunch. I find it keeps me awake in the afternoon?" - Ronald Reagan "I have no further use for America. I wouldn't go back there if Jesus Christ was President." - Charlie Chaplin "A week is a long time in politics"? - Harold Wilson "Being powerful is like being a lady. If you have to tell people you are, you aren't." - Margaret Thatcher "I wouldn't say I was the best manager in the business. But I was in the top one." - Brian Clough What is the quotation on Mel Blanc's gravestone? "That's all, folks!" "The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness. For he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you." - Ezekiel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd never heard of that. https://www.rmg.co.uk/discover/explore/death-nelson says: "At least three surviving eyewitness accounts declare that Nelson said "Kiss me Hardy" prior to his death. Surgeon William Beatty, Chaplain Alexander Scott and Purser Walter Burke all noted the moment of tenderness between Nelson and his flag captain." and, regarding "kismet": "Contemporary historians argue that this explanation is a Victorian invention, since the earliest recorded use of the term 'Kismet' in the English language does not appear until after 1805."

crunchy frog Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Mark Twain is the daddy of quotes in my opinion. It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt. Some people on this website could benefit from his wisdom, especially the quote above.
