    I didn't know this one so I googled it and was left none the wiser, if you're not american you're unlikely to get it, since what he's famous for isn't really known outside the US.

    Hell, I don't even know who he is. I just stole Nakia's answer so I'm going to let her go since she did get it right but for the wrong quote :)

    Ty Arahar. Bennett Cerf was a humorist and publisher. One of the founding editors of Random house and appeared on a early game show "What's my line?"

    Lets move to another continent. Don't think any one has used a quote from this person we all should know.

    "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step."

    Sorry Lao Tzu said "A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step"

    It was Confucius who said "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step"

    EDIT: I just looked at the beginning and assumed

    Confucius probably copied it from Lao Tzu. Is there nothing new under the sun except the Internet?

    /me looks around for an appropriate prize for DarkStrider. Can only find a bedraggled celery wreath purported to have been worn by Caesar.

    Sorry best I could do.

    Yup, it's from Wilfred Owen's poem "Dulce et Decorum est". You're on DarkStrider.
