Maya Angelou?

[Celine Chatillon]

Oh... who was that guy who wrote all those upbeat, power of positive thinking books?

Norman Vincent Peale?

Dale Carnegie?

(Very good piece of rational-emotive therapy advice there actually. The only thing you can really be certain of changing is your own attitude toward a situation.)

[Mima]

Ich spreche ein bisschen deutsche.
my god, Mike, will your wonders never cease?
witty, kind, multi-lingual...

i went with some random song quotes that popped into my head when i wrote my bio today. you can use them for this who said game:
Mima still hits dance clubs
"I came here to dance, not to get laid"
Obsessively stuffs more plants into her cottage garden every year
"Push the little daisies and make them come up"
Thinks of sex more than the average guy
"when a girl walks in with an itty-bitty waist and a round thing in my face I get sprung"
and is crazy in love with her husband.
"let the world go on below us we are lost in time"
Her vocation is a children's librarian
"I will not take these things for granted"
and she comes down on the side of cats
"i wish i could be as carefree and wild"

[Lisa Andel]

Thanks Mima.

“There are only two lasting bequests we can hope to give our children. One of these is roots, the other, wings.”

He was also a prominent Southern progressive journalist and author. Born in Hammond, the largest community in Tangipahoa Parish, in southeastern Louisiana

Okay. The guy that said this was Hodding Carter II. His son, Hodding Carter III was the assistant secretary of state in the Jimmy Carter administration.

The guy with the back problem in Notre Dame?

[Celine Chatillon]

Hmm... some of my hunches get me into a world of trouble!

Someone wise said this... Let's say Harry S. Truman. He needs a plug now and then.

[April Martinez]

With some editing and the exclusion of "facts", that could have been a Stephen Colbert quote, lol.

[Lisa Andel]

Nope. Nope. And Nope.
First off, it's a woman.

Hint: She gained fame in 1955 by winning The $64,000 Question game show.

Hint #2: She had a monthly column in Good Housekeeping magazine for almost four decades.

[Celine Chatillon]

I know!! Dr. Joyce Brothers said this quote.

(Do I win the $64,000 question now? Hey, since it's not the 1950's we get to adjust it for inflation... That would be more like a $640,000 question now!)

You do win. If you know anyone with $640,000 and you can talk them out of it you can have that too!

People who tell naughty jokes?

[Celine Chatillon]

Who would hate plants? They're soo... pretty. And good to eat. Hmph!

I'll go with George Carlin or some other wise-acre for this quote.

[Mike]

Eh? Dudn't work that way.

Veggies may or not eat veggies, like everyone else. What Veggies do is not eat meat etc.

Which gets us where...

Got it! Ergo, Humanitarians must also not eat something. Perhaps Veggies?

[Mike]

“I am not a vegetarian because I love animals; I am a vegetarian because I hate plants.”

Not quite.
The guy that said this began his career as a street juggler and musician before finding regular employment as a comedian and comedy writer.

No, The Dean was quoting Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and the genre change was to dectective mystery and the quote you all know.
Apologies for the tardiness of The Dean's response.

Steve Martin--the original "wild and crazy" guy?

Singing: "I'm picking out a thermos for you... Not an ordinary thermos for you..." (Steve Martin in The Jerk)

"King Tut... How'd he get so funky? Funky Tut! He's my favorite monkey! Born in Babylonia, moved to Arizona--King Tut!" (Steve Martin's "King Tut".)

I've read some Doyle, but it was several years ago.

You're singing aloud right now, aren't you. Are you dancing too?

“I am not a vegetarian because I love animals; I am a vegetarian because I hate plants.”

Hints: Saturday Night Live (staff writer), Fake Correspondent (for another show).

[April Martinez]

Fake Correspondent for Craig Ferguson's show maybe? I see the guy in my mind, but I can't remember his name.

[Lisa Andel]

Nah. It was "The Daily Show".
The guy that said the quote is A. Whitney Brown.

Rip Van Winkle.

Hint: English-born American entertainer who did vaudeville, Broadway, radio and television, movies, and performing tours for U.S. Military personnel.

[Celine Chatillon]

Bob Hope??

He fits the criteria... and it sounds like some droll comment he would have made.

Celine, you're absolutely right!!!!!!!


Next one:
“Money can't buy you happiness ... but it does bring you a more pleasant form of misery.”

[Celine Chatillon]

That would be me again... Oh? Okay, someone FAMOUS has to say this!

I'll say Zsa Zsa Gabor.

[Lisa Andel]

No, but that is freaky. I was going to post the Zsa Zsa quote and at the last second decided to post this one instead. This guy played the piano, trumpet, and saxophone. He was also a writer and performed on a British radio comedy program.

[Celine Chatillon]

That's me today, freaky. Totally freaky.

Hmmm.... was it Spike Miligan? Peter Sellars?

[Mike]

“Money can't buy you happiness ... but it does bring you a more pleasant form of misery.”

Dunno if he played music, but it sounds like Spike Milligan.

Edit: Note to self - type faster.

Spike Milligan it is! I'm giving the win to both you and Mike!!!

“I think the next best thing to solving a problem is finding some humor in it.”

[Celine Chatillon]

Isn't that the way ALL problems are solved best? Through humor?

How about someone from Monty Python? I'll guess Michael Palin since I've always had a thing for him ever since I first heard him yell, "Nobody expects the Spanish Inquistion!!"

[Lisa Andel]

Nope. This guy is quoted a ton. He's an author. He was born in 1911.
He also said: "A baby is born with a need to be loved and never outgrows it."

[Celine Chatillon]

Hmm... Someone that would have been my grandparent's generation... Not getting any ideas other than Doctor Spock for the second quote!

(That's DOCTOR Spock and not Mr. Spock, Star Trek enthusiasts out there!)

[Lisa Andel]

I don't really know much about this guy beyond the hints I gave. He was an American, and also an editor and a publisher. Of what? Where? Heck if I know.

Since I like the Dr. Spock answer I'll give the win to Celine!!!


Next one:
“There's a sucker born every minute.”

[Celine Chatillon]

Me!! I'm that sucker!!

(Lisa may be one for awarding me the last quote guess... Let me try again. Hmmm, how about HR Mencken?)

I'll say the sucker quote came from P.T. Barnum. He certainly pegged us blonde types.

[Lisa Andel]

That other quote was from A. Whitney Brown.

This one, you've definitely got right!!!! P.T. Barnum it is.

Al Capone.

You'd think.
This guy was born in 1799. He was an American, a politician, and was Secretary of War for the United States government for about a year, starting in 1861.

[Lisa Andel]

The last quote was attributed to:
Simon Cameron (1799-1889) American financier and politician.
