'never was so much owed by so many to so few'
(thats an easy one to get started)

its my first thread,hope you like it.
 
Winston Churchill

The actual phrase was "Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few"
 
Okay, this one seems good to follow the Churchill one...

"Every war when it comes, or before it comes, is represented not as a war but as an act of self-defense against a homicidal maniac."
 
Uhhmm.. that has to be "George Orwell"

now for another one : "I am convinced that He (God) does not play dice."
(LoL)
 
Easy, Albert Einstein

"You see, antiquated ideas of kindness and generosity are simply bugs that must be programmed out of our world. And these cold, unfeeling machines will show us the way."
 
Who said "Dissent is the highest form of patriotism"?

"When you sit with a nice girl for two hours, it seems like two minutes. When you sit on a hot stove for two minutes, it seems like two hours. That's relativity."

Why is that? Laughing Man never even said that. It's only been mentioned as Holden's quote.
 
I honestly would question anyones response now that Google and other search engines are accessible. Type in any of the previously stated quotes and I'm sure a search engine will pop up the answer.

Sucks.
