My last quiz, A QUIZ OF QUOTATIONS 21, was won by @sexstarvedme1966, it's business as usual!
I've decided to run these quizes fortnightly.
Here's the next edition of a quiz about quotations, whether spoken or written (or even wrongly attributed to). This quiz is perhaps a bit harder than my last quiz. Per usual, there are 10 quotations with 12 points on offer - see below. (If you don't want to or can't play but still want to know the answers to the quiz, please leave a comment below.)
WHO SAID/WROTE THIS? (one mark per quotation)
"There's a passage I got memorized. Ezekiel 25:17. 'The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy My brothers. And you will know I am the Lord when I lay My vengeance upon you.' Now ... I been sayin' that shit for years. And if you ever heard it, that meant your ass. You'd be dead right now. I never gave much thought to what it meant. I just thought it was a cold-blooded thing to say to a motherfucker before I popped a cap in his ass. But I saw some shit this mornin' made me think twice. See, now I'm thinking: maybe it means you're the evil man. And I'm the righteous man. And Mr. 9mm here ... he's the shepherd protecting my righteous ass in the valley of darkness. Or it could mean you're the righteous man and I'm the shepherd and it's the world that's evil and selfish. And I'd like that. But that shit ain't the truth. The truth is you're the weak. And I'm the tyranny of evil men. But I'm tryin', Ringo. I'm tryin' real hard to be the shepherd."
"England expects that every man will do his duty."
"Politicians are not born; they are excreted."
"Today I feel Qatari. Today I feel Arab. Today I feel African. Today I feel gay. Today I feel disabled. Today I feel a migrant worker. I feel like them because I know what it feels like to be discriminated, to be bullied as a foreigner in a country. At school I was bullied because I had red hair and freckles. I was bullied, plus I was Italian, so imagine. I didn’t speak good German. What do you do then?"
"The illegal we do immediately. The unconstitutional takes a little longer."
"Fuck! Is one expected to be a gentleman when one is stiff?"
"O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave. O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave."
WHO REPUTEDLY SAID/WROTE THIS? (one mark per quotation)
WHO SAID/WROTE THIS ABOUT WHOM? (two marks per quotation)
"Well, at least he has found his true love - what a pity he can't marry himself."
"I will not make age an issue of this campaign. I am not going to exploit, for political purposes, my opponent's youth and inexperience."
Good luck in the quiz! And no cheating which means no Googling and no peeking below!
A very coveted top prize, a humorous quip, will be awarded to the person who gives the most correct answers but before all the correct answers are revealed in a few days time on Saturday, 22 August 2026.
PS. Please see the first comment below, for details of previous quizes in this series.

I want to think #1 was Samuel Jackson in Pulp Fiction. And didn’t someone in the Trump administration (Pete Hegseth?) get caught plagiarizing it?
Hegseth probably plagiarises everything he's ever said. He's not the brightest button in the drawer!
The quiz was a tough one. Below are the correct answers in parentheses after the quotation.

Well hell! Not even going to attempt most of them.
7 - "O say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave. O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave." Francis Scott Key. In a poem he wrote about the bombardment of Fort McHenry in Baltimore by British forces during the War of 1812. (A war which the US started but did not win. See it's nothing new!) Later the poem became the words to the Star Spangled banner.
10 - "I will not make age an issue of this campaign. I am not going to exploit, for political purposes, my opponent's youth and inexperience." Ronald Reagan of Michael Dukakis.
