Who Quoth What?

Aside

Some of you enjoyed the matching of quotes and writers when I did it previously so here are a further twelve quotes and twelve names. They are mixed nationalities to give everyone a chance. They aren’t easy but have a go and - need I say - no googling or equivalent please.

Here are the Quotes:

1 I’ve been poor and I’ve been rich. Rich is better.

2 Greater love hath no man than this, that he lay down his friends for his life.

3 Oats. A grain, which in England is generally given to horses, but in Scotland supports the people.

4. In the real dark night of the soul it is always three o’clock in the morning.

5. A woman, especially if she have the misfortune of knowing anything, should conceal it as well as she can.

6. All women become like their mother. That is their tragedy. No man does. That’s his.
