The search is on!

Hey guys, if you didn't know already, you know now! I really like looking for good quotes... So, I'll put up a few on here for you guys, but then I'd really like to see you guys comment with some of YOUR favorite quotes. Fair enough? :)

Also, I'll leave the names of the people who said them out so that you can guess them.

Here goes.

1. "What one man can invent, another can discover."

The next two were said by people you wouldn't think said them.

2. "Any people whatever have a right to abolish the existing government and form a new one that suits them better."

3. "Tell them - tell the world that I only loved America."

And the super-long one... I actually like this one the best. :)

4. "It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat."

And... Don't guess on this one... I have no clue who said it first.

5. "When a ball dreams, it dreams it's a Frisbee."

So, now it's your turn! Guess the people who said these, and give me your favorite quote.

  2. Ditto on the guesses. Is that how you're supposed to spell the Snoopy Man's name??

    My quotes (and you get to guess by whom they were spoken):

    "Men may keep a sort of level of good, but no man has ever been able to keep on one level of evil. That road goes down and down."

    "That looks like Kevin!"

    A thorough knowledge of the Bible is worth more than a college education. Theodore Roosevelt

    Faith is a living, daring confidence in God's grace, so sure and certain that a man could stake his life on it a thousand times. Martin Luther

  8. That Lincoln quote is one the revisionists never mention-or believe if you tell them...It's amazing how he's gotten off as a hero.

  9. By the way, I'm a copperhead, if you didn't figure it out. Well, not really, I was born in Kentucky. Hey, I'm not proud to be in the Land of Lincoln :|.

    Andy Romanowitz from, uh, Illinois

  10. I actually like Illinois-it's just the Lincoln thing that gets me.

  11. Kentucky was going to secede, but Lincoln sent federal troops into my home state to suppress the "rebellion." For Illinois, try "The Prairie State." It's the official nickname, and more accurate. Lincoln did most of his damage in Washington, D.C.! Andy and I should redesign the Illinois license plates:)

    Here's a few of my favorite quotes:
    "If you are headed nowhere, any train will get you there." - Howard Phillips

    "There is no substitute for victory." - Gen. Douglas MacArthur

    "Culture is religion externalized." - Cornelius Van Til

    "Outlaw guns and only outlaws will have guns" - Anonymous

    Dan Romanowitz (I keep posting my name, but don't let that fool you, I comment with an anonymous profile;)!)
