10 Historical Quotes You Must Know

Today, I participated in a very interesting conversation where someone used “I am the state” while referring to a current event. I made a joke with a twist on Louis XIV, which was missed because the person didn’t know the history of the quote.

That made me wonder: how many people use famous quotes without actually knowing what they are all about?

If you are one of these people – it’s time to change!

Match the famous historical figures below with their (attributed) quotes and discover a short story behind each pair.

Click or tap on the persons in blue, and then click or tap on the appropriate blank to match them with their corresponding quotes.

If you’ve matched the pair correctly, a short descriotion will appear below it. If not, the blank will get a little shake, and the name will return to its original position.

Who Said What – and Why?

Congrats – you’ve match them all! Next time you use these, you’ll know what it’s really about!
