    Who said it and when?

    New game time.

    Famous quotes from history. Post a famous historical quote, and the first person who knows who said it and when gets to post the next quote.

    Rules.

    #1. No Google searches, if you dont know dont reply. This is going to be on the honor system. If more then 3 wrong answers are posted, Googling is allowed.

    #2. Only historical quotes from historical figures.

    #3. No new quotes until the previous one has been at least named if not dated.

    To try to start this off.

    All great movements are popular movements. They are the volcanic eruptions of human passions and emotions, stirred into activity by torch of the spoken word cast into the midst of the people.
    I have a HUGE SIG!!!!

    "We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers - thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."- P.S. Beagle

    "All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien

    Cool! To quote Simon and Garfunkel, "My years of education haven't hurt me none ..."


    Here is one of my favorite quotes:

    "How far you go in life depends on you being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of the weak and the strong. Because someday in life you will have been all of these."
    "We give dogs the time we can spare, the space we can spare and the love we can spare. And in return, dogs give us their all. It's the best deal man has ever made" - M. Facklam

    "We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers - thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."- P.S. Beagle

    "All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien

    Okay, I'll post one of my favorites, should be an easy one to guess:

    Do not act as if the world owes you a living. It does not, it was here first.

    John F. Kennedy?

    This isn't exactly a historical quote from a historical figure, but I really like it so I'll put it here. I am blessed enough to have a couple of these.
    "It's the friends you can call up at 4 a.m. that matter." -- Marlene Dietrich

    Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!
    Brrrr, I've been Frosted! Thank you, Asiel and Pomtzu!


    "That's the power of kittens (and puppies too, of course): They can reduce us to quivering masses of Jell-O in about two seconds flat and make us like it. Good thing they don't have opposable thumbs or they'd surely have taken over the world by now." -- Paul Lukas

    "We consume our tomorrows fretting about our yesterdays." -- Persius, first century Roman poet
