Like you, I like the excellent thoughts of others. Some things are so well-said they can’t be improved, and ought to be remembered and applied in some way to what we do.
If you consider yourself to be an expert on quotations, try this 10-question quiz. The quiz itself is simple enough, and most of you will score 10 of 10. What is interesting is the complete quotes and bits of historical information included with them on the answer page.
I’ve included an example below. Reading it before taking the quiz would be cheating.
The complete quote is "Today I consider myself the luckiest man on the face of the earth." Those words were spoken by baseball great Lou Gehrig on July 4, 1939, during the 36-year-old's farewell speech at Yankee Stadium. Gehrig, who suffered from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (now commonly known as Lou Gehrig's disease), was retiring from baseball. His speech is considered one of the most moving ever given by an athlete.
* And the title, of course, is from Groucho Marx.
