Try to link the quotation with the speaker/writer*:"Don’t let schooling interfere with your education.""Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else’s opinions. Their lives a mimicry. Their passions a quotation.""Some people die at 25 and aren’t buried until 75.""A man may die, nations may rise and fall, but an idea lives on.""Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies in the final sense a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.""Do the difficult things while they are easy and do the great things while they are small. A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step.""I fear not the man who has practised 10,000 kicks, but I do fear the man who has practised one kick 10,000 times."John F. KennedyOscar WildeDwight D. EisenhowerBenjamin FranklinMark TwainBruce LeeLao Tzu*Whether these people actually said/wrote them is another story...
These are my guesses. (No Googling was involved in my answers)"Don’t let schooling interfere with your education." - Mark Twain"Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else’s opinions. Their lives a mimicry. Their passions a quotation." - Oscar Wilde"Some people die at 25 and aren’t buried until 75." -Dwight D. Eisenhower"A man may die, nations may rise and fall, but an idea lives on." - Benjamin Franklin"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies in the final sense a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed." -John F. Kennedy"Do the difficult things while they are easy and do the great things while they are small. A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step." - Lao Tzu"I fear not the man who has practised 10,000 kicks, but I do fear the man who has practised one kick 10,000 times." - Bruce Lee
All guesses on my part as well"Don’t let schooling interfere with your education." Oscar Wilde"Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else’s opinions. Their lives a mimicry. Their passions a quotation." Lao Tzu"Some people die at 25 and aren’t buried until 75." Mark Twain"A man may die, nations may rise and fall, but an idea lives on." Benjamin Franklin"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies in the final sense a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed." Dwight D. Eisenhower"Do the difficult things while they are easy and do the great things while they are small. A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step." John F. Kennedy"I fear not the man who has practised 10,000 kicks, but I do fear the man who has practised one kick 10,000 times." Bruce Lee
Well, Scout got four right, Skiguy got one right!Here are the answers, with my comments in bold:"Don’t let schooling interfere with your education." -Mark Twain (I had heard a similar saying back in college by an upperclassman, and I had never heard it attributed to Mark Twain until now. Granted, it does sound like something Twain might say.)"Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else’s opinions. Their lives a mimicry. Their passions a quotation." -Oscar Wilde"Some people die at 25 and aren’t buried until 75." -Benjamin Franklin (This does not sound Franklinesque to me!)"A man may die, nations may rise and fall, but an idea lives on." -John F. Kennedy"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies in the final sense a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed." -Dwight D. Eisenhower (The peacenik content of this quote decreases the probability of it coming from a general, but evidently it did.)"Do the difficult things while they are easy and do the great things while they are small. A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step." -Lao Tzu (To me, kind of sounds like an Eastern saying.)"I fear not the man who has practised 10,000 kicks, but I do fear the man who has practised one kick 10,000 times." -Bruce Lee (Awesome quote!)
I just figured it was Eisenhower who said that seeing he was against the “military industrial complex.”
How about this:"I fear not the liberal politician who has raised taxes by 10,000 dollars, but I do fear the liberal politician who has raised taxes by one dollar 10,000 times."
