a3tsw Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 When I was young (and I have it on good authority , that I was once) , we used to play a game called hangman , where you had to find the name of eg. a film , actor , sportsperson or the like , from a number of guesses of the letters in the name. Another game of a similar nature was charades , which , as far as I know still popular today. So a variation on a theme here for some amusement this Friday afternoon. I will kick of with part or all of a famous quote and first to get the correct answer , gets to post up the next quote... Where only part of a quote is given , then the remainder of the quote , along with the author will constitute the complete answer. eg. Float like a Butterfly , _____ ____ _ ___. ans. Sting like a Bee & Muhammed Ali here goes! A nice easy one to get the ball rolling.. Q1) ... "Yes We Can" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post seedy Posted November 26, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 26, 2021 (edited) "The British Empire and the French Republic, linked together in their cause and in their need, will defend to the death their native soil, aiding each other like good comrades to the utmost of their strength. "Even though large tracts of Europe and many old and famous states have fallen or may fall into the grip of the Gestapo and all the odious apparatus of Nazi rule, we shall not flag or fail. "We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be. "We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God's good time, the new world, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old."

Gsxrnz Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Few people in the modern era are worthy of having quotes attributed to them, because virtually none of them/us have had a unique thought in our entire lives. We merely regurgitate and rephrase the writings and philosophies of the ancients. The descriptor of "quote" in the philosophical sense should only be attributed to something said or written that is of such deep philosophical meaning that future philosophers spend their lifetimes examining the meaning and interpretations of one sentence. Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee or similar - doesn't quite fit the criteria. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seedy Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 “You’ll learn, as you get older, that rules are made to be broken. Be bold enough to live life on your terms, and never, ever apologize for it. Go against the grain, refuse to conform, take the road less traveled instead of the well-beaten path. Laugh in the face of adversity, and leap before you look. Dance as though EVERYBODY is watching. March to the beat of your own drummer. And stubbornly refuse to fit in.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
