Quotations matching

This post will be about quotations. We had to do exe.5 on page 31. The task was to match the first half of each quotation with the second half.

1. It is better to have loved and lost c) than never to have loved at all. – Lord Alfred Tennyson (1809– 1892)

2. Never explain – your friends do not need it i) and your enemies will not believe you anyway. – Elbert Hubbard (1856–1915)

3. Well done is better e) than well said. – Benjamin Franklin (1706–1790)

4. I’m President of the United States and a) I’m not going to eat any more broccoli! – George H W Bush (1924–)

5. To get back my youth I would do anything in the world h) except take exercise, get up early or be respectable. – Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

6. Words are, of course, the most j) powerful drug known to mankind. – Rudyard Kipling (1865 - 1936)

7. We must learn to live together as brothers d) or perish together as fools. – Martin Luther King, Jr (1929–1968)

8. My one regret in life is that b) I’m not someone else. – Woody Allen (1935)

9. I never think of the future f) It comes soon enough. – Albert Einstein (1879–1955)

10. I hear and I forget. I see and I remember g) I do and I understand. – Confucius (551–479 BC)

Moreover, we had to choose couple of quotations to be able to use them in the introduction in the future speech. I liked these two:

·                   We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools. – Martin Luther King, Jr (1929–1968)

·                   Words are, of course, the most j) powerful drug known to mankind. – Rudyard Kipling (1865 - 1936)

To my mind, we should treat each other in a kind way, be respectful to each other. Also we should mind what words we use when we communicate with people because words can do anything to a person. I am not sure how I will use them, but certainly, these are my favorite. They teach us important things.
