My last quiz, A QUIZ OF QUOTATIONS 23, was won by @sexstarvedme1966. Someone's got to stop this man even if it means cheating!
Here's the next edition of a quiz about quotations, whether spoken or written (or even wrongly attributed to). Per usual, there are 10 quotations with 12 points on offer - see below. (If you cannot play but still want to know the answers to the quiz, please leave a comment below.)
WHO SAID/WROTE THIS? (one mark per quotation)
"Regrets, I've had a few. But then again, too few to mention. I did what I had to do."
"It costs a lot of money to look this cheap."
"The more you can increase fear of drugs, crime, welfare mothers, immigrants and aliens, the more you control all of the people."
"I'm here to fight for truth, and justice, and the American way."
"Hard work, sacrifice and focus will never show up in tests."
"I didn't choose the thug life, the thug life chose me."
"I must be cruel, only to be kind."
WHO REPUTEDLY SAID/WROTE THIS? (one mark per quotation)
WHO SAID/WROTE THIS ABOUT WHOM? (two marks per quotation)
"She’s a vacuum with nipples."
"A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy Birthday - and may every day be another wonderful secret."
Good luck in the quiz! And no cheating which means no Googling and no peeking below, though I'll turn a blind eye to cheating if a certain someone doesn't win!
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 Thursday, 10 September 2026.
PS. Please see the first comment below, for details of previous quizes in this series.

Two good answers.
Below are the correct answers in parentheses after the quotation.
WHO SAID/WROTE THIS? (one mark per quotation)
"Regrets, I've had a few. But then again, too few to mention. I did what I had to do." (Frank Sinatra, My Way, 1969; the song's lyrics were written by Paul Anka)
"It costs a lot of money to look this cheap." (Dolly Parton)
"The more you can increase fear of drugs, crime, welfare mothers, immigrants and aliens, the more you control all of the people." (Noam Chomsky; his words almost describe Donald Trump's political agenda; perhaps that's no coincidence as the left-wing academic was repeatedly named in the Epstein Files, or at least the files that Donald Trump allowed to be released)
"I'm here to fight for truth, and justice, and the American way." (Christopher Reeve playing Clark Kent in the film, Superman: The Movie, released in 1978; the film's screenplay was written by Mario Puzo, David Newman, Leslie Newman and Robert Benton; the film is based on a story written by Mario Puzo)
"Hard work, sacrifice and focus will never show up in tests." (Lance Armstrong)
"I didn't choose the thug life, the thug life chose me." (Tupac Shakur)
"I must be cruel, only to be kind." (William Shakespeare's line in his Hamlet tragedy, a play written between 1599 and 1601)
WHO REPUTEDLY SAID/WROTE THIS? (one mark per quotation)
WHO SAID/WROTE THIS ABOUT WHOM? (two marks per quotation)
"She’s a vacuum with nipples." (Otto Preminger on Marilyn Monroe)
"A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy Birthday - and may every day be another wonderful secret." (reportedly Donald Trump's birthday message to Jeffrey Epstein celebrating the latter's 50th birthday in 2003; the message is written on a drawing of a naked woman; Donald Trump denies that he wrote the message, sketched the drawing and signed the message)
Two great answers.

WHO SAID/WROTE THIS? (one mark per quotation)
One - "Regrets, I've had a few. But then again, too few to mention. I did what I had to do." Frank Sinatra in the song "My Way".
Two - "It costs a lot of money to look this cheap." - Dear Dolly Parton
Three - "The more you can increase fear of drugs, crime, welfare mothers, immigrants and aliens, the more you control all of the people." Sounds like the current administration, so I take a WAG at Steven Miller.
Four - "I'm here to fight for truth, and justice, and the American way." - Superman
WHO REPUTEDLY SAID/WROTE THIS? (one mark per quotation)
Eight - "If a man has sexual relations with her and her monthly flow touches him, he will be unclean for seven days; any bed he lies on will be unclean." - For sure the Old Testament of the Bible, but not real idea who said it,
WHO SAID/WROTE THIS ABOUT WHOM? (two marks per quotation)
Ten - "A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy Birthday - and may every day be another wonderful secret." Trump to Epstein.

It seems to me that this time, although interesting, all those quotes are very Anglo-world, somewhat removed from my own, despite my several "very good special expat British friends"
I accept your Anglo charge. I'll try to be less Anglo in future quizes.
Even better, if you give me some Spanish quotes I'll include them.
@spunkycumfun I will
@AuraAviatik6 Thanks.
@spunkycumfun
Here you have a few.... shhhh.... keep them secret!
. Who founded St. Augustine (San Agustín), Florida, in 1565, making it the oldest continuously inhabited European-established city in the continental United States?: Pedro Menendez de Avilés
. Which explorer was the first European to reach the Mississippi River?: Hernando de Soto
. Which U.S. state takes its name from the Spanish word for “snow-covered”? Nevada
. Which Spanish queen sponsored Christopher Columbus's voyage to America in 1492?: Isabella I of Castile
. Which Spanish navigator completed the first circumnavigation of the globe in 1522 in the name of the king of Spain, after taking command of the expedition following Magellan's death?: Juan Sebastián Elcano
@AuraAviatik6 Have you got quotes to go with those questions?
@spunkycumfun hmmm.... we'll see... I have to work a bit more
@spunkycumfun Here you have some quotes for a quiz:
. “In a village of La Mancha, the name of which I have no desire to call to mind…”: Miguel de Cervantes, Don Quixote
. “Freedom, Sancho, is one of the most precious gifts that Heaven has bestowed upon men.”: Miguel de Cervantes, Don Quixote (I specially like that one)

. “Traveller, there is no path; the path is made by walking.”: Antonio Machado (there is a song that I love by “Serrat” about this poesy)
@AuraAviatik6 Thank you. Watch that space.
