Quotations
How's it going? The last post for today connected with different quotations. Here I have two tasks. Let's look at them.
1. The first task is to match the first half of the quotation with the second one. Then I should choose a couple of them for my introduction of the persuasive speech.
1. It is better to have loved and lost. c) than never to have loved at all. – Lord Alfred Tennyson (1809– 1892)
2. Never explain – your friends do not need it. i) and your enemies will not believe you anyway. – Elbert Hubbard
(1856–1915)
3. Well done is better. e) than well said. – Benjamin Franklin (1706–1790)
4. I’m President of the United States and. a) I’m not going to eat any more broccoli! – George H W Bush (1924–)
5. To get back my youth I would do anything in the world. h) except take exercise, get up early or be respectable. – Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
6. Words are, of course, the most. j) powerful drug known to mankind. – Rudyard Kipling (1865 - 1936)
7. We must learn to live together as brothers. d) or perish together as fools. – Martin Luther King, Jr (1929–1968)
8. My one regret in life is that. b) I’m not someone else. – Woody Allen (1935–)
9. I never think of the future. f) It comes soon enough. – Albert Einstein (1879–1955)
10. I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. g) I do and I understand. – Confucius (551–479 BC)
I like these two quotations and I can use them in the introduction of my speech perfectly!

Amazing quotations, isn't it?
2. In second task we face quotations again.Here I should correct mistakes in the quotes. Then I choose one quotation and demonstrate how I can use it in the body of my speech.
1. All truth passes threw three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident. Arthur Schopenhauer (1788–1860)

8. The man who goes alone can start today; but he who travels with another must weight till that other is ready. Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
8. The man who goes alone can start today; but he who travels with another must wait till that other is ready. Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
I think I will use this quotation in the body of my speech:
Each of us does not think about the consequences of the actions, we are not afraid of the future, we are not afraid of the reaction of the planet to our actions. People think they are doing enough for the environment, but they are only doing it for their own good. As Sir Winston Churchill said: " It is not enough that we do our best; sometimes we must do what is required."
