Alright three of you are enough, and since you all are on at different times, we can do this a different way. I will post the 20 quotes, and you can PM me the your answers (PM to avoid cheating)
And the last one will be a random draw. ^^
Alrgith so here are the quotes
1. “In a false quarrel there is no true valor.”-- 2. “Misfortune shows those who are not really friends.” -- 3. “It has never been my object to record my dreams, just to realize them.” -- 4. “It hurts to find out that what you wanted doesn't match what you dreamed it would be.”-- 5. “To punish me for my contempt for authority, fate made me an authority myself.”-- 6. “We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give.”-- 7. “Change your thoughts and you change your world.”-- 8. “The secret of happiness is to make others believe they are the cause of it.”-- 9. “A strong positive mental attitude will create more miracles than any wonder drug.”-- 10. “I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody.”-- 11. “Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power.”-- 12. “Education is what survives when what has been learned has been forgotten”-- 13. “Great ability develops and reveals itself increasingly with every new assignment” -- 14. “He who strikes the first blow admits he's lost the argument.” -- 15. “Work and acquire, and thou hast chained the wheel of Chance.”-- 16. “Death is more universal than life; everyone dies but not everyone lives.”-- 17. “A mind troubled by doubt cannot focus on the course to victory.” -- 18. “Reputation is what other people know about you. Honor is what you know about yourself”-- 19. “The important thing is not to stop questioning.”-- 20. “There is nobody so irritating as somebody with less intelligence and more sense than we have.” --
And bonus point to you if you can tell me the author of the quote in my siggie. ^^
