10 Difficult Quotes









See if you can match the following quotes to the person who made them from the list at the bottom.  You may find the results interesting.




1. Jesus has a very special love for you. As for me, the silence and the emptiness are so great that I look and do not see, listen and do not hear.


2. “My whole life I have suffered from poverty and have faced many disappointments and pain, like a man is used to. That is why I want to make other people happy and want them to feel at home


3. “We want to fill our culture again with the Christian spirit… We want to burn out all the recent immoral developments in literature, in the theater, and in the press—in short, we want to burn out the poison of immorality which has entered into our whole life and culture as a result of liberal excess…”


4. They [the Jews] are nothing but thieves and robbers who daily eat no morsel and wear no thread of clothing which they have not stolen and pilfered from us by means of their accursed usury. Thus they live from day to day, together with wife and child, by theft and robbery, as arch-thieves and robbers, in the most impenitent security."


5. "I am not now, nor ever have been in favor of bringing about in any way the social or political equality of the white and black races. I am not now nor ever have been in favor of making voters or jurors of Negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor of intermarriages with white people. There is a physical difference between the white and the black races which will forever forbid the two races living together on social or political equality. There must be a position of superior and inferior, and I am in favor of assigning the superior position to the white man."


6. Comrades, through the years of bloodshed and many marches you were tried and true soldiers. So through years of peace you have been good citizens, and now that we are again united under the old flag, I love it as I did in the days of my youth, and I feel sure that you love it also.”


7. “Drinking makes you forget your responsibilities, and you mistreat the poor. Beer and wine are only for the dying or for those who have lost all hope. Let them drink and forget how poor and miserable they feel.”


8. "Tomorrow creeps its petty pace."


9. “What you do not want done to yourself, do not do to others.”


10. "People say, well, do you ever hear any other voices other than, like, a few people? Of course I do."

  2. With fortuitous luck I got them all. A couple, I felt, were pretty obvious, but others were elusive. "Tomorrow creeps its petty pace" was especially difficult. It's actually from Shakespeare (HAMLET) but must have been quoted by Charles Manson.
