HE SAID WHAT? (A "Match the Quote to the Author" Quiz)

Okay Boys and Girls! It's time for a little fun, and maybe we can a learn a little somethin' along the way. (Or maybe you'll just get freaked out.)

Here's how this is gonna work:
I'm gonna give y'all a list of ten names and a list of ten quotes. Your mission (if you choose to accept it) will be to try and match the author with their particular quote. I have vetted each quote for accuracy- at least two "nails" in every entry. This will be followed by a repeat of the quotes with their particular authors attached. (No "key" like in school- I want everyone to see the quote and the author's name together. More impact. Better retention.) And no peekin' ahead or usin' the Interweb. That's cheatin' and that ain't right.
So- y'all got it? Here we go...


The Authors-

George Washington
Adolph Hitler
Sinclair Lewis
Ben Franklin
Thomas Jefferson
Winston Churchill
Karl Marx
Vladimir Lenin
Joseph Stalin
Abraham Lincoln


The Quotes-

"The writer is the engineer to the human soul."

"I wish it (Christianity) were more productive of good works ... I mean real good works ... not holy-day keeping, sermon-hearing ... or making long prayers, filled with flatteries and compliments despised by wise men, and much less capable of pleasing the Deity."

"To place any dependence upon militia, is, assuredly, resting upon a broken staff."

"Christianity neither is, nor ever was a part of the common law."

"We must reduce workers' salaries and take away their right to strike."

"It is, of course, much easier to shout, abuse, and howl than to attempt to relate, to explain."

“When Fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross.”

"The Bible is not my book nor Christianity my profession."

"Show me a young Conservative and I'll show you someone with no heart. Show me an old Liberal and I'll show you someone with no brains."

"The oppressed are allowed once every few years to decide which particular representatives of the oppressing class are to represent and repress them."



There ya are. Dependin' on how many ya get right, I'd say you're gonna be somewhere between a Student of Modern History and a Scholar of Sorry Guesses.

Now- hopefully this has made you a little interested in what else at least some of these folks had to say, how they felt, what they thought. Fortunately, for us, the World is brimmin' with Good Words from Deep Thinkers. Unfortunately, a great deal of it is buried under a Mountain of Disinformation and Downright Bullshit. Do your own Research. Do your own Thinkin'.

Knowledge is Power. At least, it was at one time...
