7 Quotations

[muhamedr]

A "quotation" is usually a short text - perhaps one or two
sentences - written or spoken by one (usually famous) person
and often repeated or at least known by others. Every
language has its famous quotations, and they range from
highly amusing to deadly serious. Often they express a deep
truth in a short, clever way - even the amusing ones. Here
are 7 of my favourite quotations, arranged (very loosely)
from humorous to serious. Have a look at them and try to
understand them. Do you agree with them? You can find
explanations of some of the more difficult words in
English Checker at the end.

"It is a secret in the Oxford sense. You may tell it to
only one person at a time." Lord Franks

"The head cannot take in more than the seat can endure."
Winston Churchill on long speeches

"Only the insane take themselves seriously." Max Beerbohm

"To be uncertain is uncomfortable; but to be certain
is ridiculous." Goethe

"Say what you have to say in the fewest possible words."
Sir Arthur Bryant

"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to
repeat it." Santayana

"When words lose their meaning, people lose their freedom."
Confucius

English Checker
