Now try this one:

'I know you are here to kill me. Shoot, coward, you are only going to kill a man'.
Thats a great quote Fran made by the man who is featured on more t-shirts than anyone else. I even have one myself. Che Guevara.

How about....

GENTLEMEN, WHEN THE ENEMY IS COMMITTED TO A MISTAKE WE MUST NOT INTERRUPT HIM TOO SOON.

Hands up for Horatio ..... Nelson

On Ché, the creator of that iconic image was an Irish man ... who happens to live not too far from my current location. The image went viral in today's terms because he made it copyright free way back in the '60's
Ché, of course, had Irish ancestry & rambled around Ireland I think around 1961.

Anyway enough history back to the topic ....

'I was married by a judge. I should have asked for a jury'.

@Fran

That is very interesting news indeed. It is amazing how an image or a brand can go "viral" so quickly in this modern world.
I think you quote was made by Groucho Marx.

Heres one for SKM....

ALWAYS CARRY A FLAGON OF WHISKEY IN CASE OF SNAKEBITE AND FURTHERMORE ALWAYS CARRY A SMALL SNAKE.

How about....

MY WEAKNESSES... I WISH I COULD COME UP WITH SOMETHING. I'D PROBABLY HAVE THE SAME PAUSE IF YOU ASKED ME WHAT MY STRENGHTS ARE. MAYBE THEY'RE THE SAME THING.

That has got to be Forrest Gump.

Is that right Fran or did someone else make it before the film?

How about....

AS MUCH AS I WOULD LOVE TO BE A PERSON THAT GOES TO PARTIES AND HAS A COUPLE OF DRINKS AND HAS A NICE TIME, THAT DOESN'T WORK FOR ME. I'D JUST RATHER SIT AT HOME AND READ, OR GO OUT TO DINNER WITH SOMEONE, OR TALK TO SOMEONE I LOVE, OR TALK TO SOMEONE WHO MAKES ME LAUGH.

Hey Tralala I think that was Marc Bolan, is that right, I had to google it (before my time).

How about....

HUGGING TREES HAS A CALMING EFFECT ON ME. I'M TALKING ABOUT ENORMOUS TREES THAT WILL BE THERE WHEN WE ARE ALL DEAD AND GONE. I'VE HUGGED TREES IN EVERY PART OF THIS LITTLE ISLAND.

Howdy Fran, I threw the Gerry Adams one in for you. Your quote has to have been made by Charles V.

How about....

Thats a really hard one Fran, after looking around is it a quote from the character Kate Croy from "The Wings of the Dove" by Henry James?
