Post a quote, guess who said it, first correct guesser posts another quote. can be from RL, a book, or whatever. If it's from a book the character's name is needed.

I shall begin;

"I'm a great believer in luck - and I find the harder I work, the more of it I have."

It's Jim Hawkins, the narrator of The Curse of the Treasure Island by Francis Bryan.
Title: Who said it?
Post by: Jubal on April 30, 2009, 07:01:59 PM
Jim Hawkins is correct, so you can have it, but the book is just called 'Treasure Island' and was written by Robert Louis Stevenson.

An easy one;

"Well, I'm back."

Try this;

Also, my earlier "colours of the world" is a song lyric sung by Enjolras from the musical Les Miserables.

The colours of the world are changing day by day...
Red, the blood of angry men
Black, the dark of ages past
Red, A world about to dawn
Black, a night that fades at last!

Yep ... but this one is very hard : Quaero hominem !

hint : that man was walking in the middle of the day with a lamp in his hands... Then one man came to him ad asked him what is he doing and he said those words
Title: Who said it?
Post by: DeepComet5581 on June 10, 2009, 11:43:55 PM
Thanks to a philosophical debate I had with one of my friends, I not only know that the person who said that is Evgenii Goligin, but that Quaero Hominem means "I am looking for man".

Title: Who said it?
Post by: Jubal on June 11, 2009, 04:30:07 PM
Try this;

Qui bono?
Title: Who said it?
Post by: DeepComet5581 on June 11, 2009, 05:49:34 PM
A Canadian friend of mine who can speak latin told me that Qui Bono is a dog-latin misrendering, so do you mean Cui Bono?

If so, I remember hearing it in the film The Departed, where Captain George Ellerby (Played by Alec Baldwin) says "Cui Bono?", to which Colin Sullivan (Played by Matt Damon) replies "Cui gives a ***t. It's got a freakin' bow on it."

It's also the Latin motto of the Crime Syndicate of Amerika (Justice League)

Edit:
My friend has told me that;
Cui Bono means: Who benefits?
Qui Bono means: Who with good?

If you do mean Qui Bono then I have no idea what you're on about.
Title: Who said it?
Post by: Jubal on June 11, 2009, 10:23:45 PM
Yes, I was using a mistaken rendering it seems. Since I never studied latin I hope my error can be forgiven.

I believe the phrase was coined by the roman orator Cicero.
Title: Who said it?
Post by: DeepComet5581 on June 11, 2009, 10:54:04 PM
I forgive you for your mistake.

I suspect it was coined by Cicero, as he was considered a master of words. Despite this he, like all roman orators, historians and physicians has been completely trampled by modern language, technology and culture.
