Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Currency produces currency.

Answer: Money makes money.

"Money makes money" means that it takes money to start up any type of business in order to produce profits. A similar saying is "The rich get richer and the poor get poorer."
2. Melodious dissertation contains bewitchery that has a calming effect on a barbaric female lactating gland.

Answer: Music has charms to soothe the savage breast.

The literal meaning of the saying "Music has charms to soothe the savage breast" as been misinterpreted and written incorrectly for years. The word "breast" was changed to "beast". The saying is derived from the 1697 poem "The Mourning Bride" by William Congreve. The poem reads:
Musick has Charms to sooth a savage Breast,
To soften Rocks, or bend a knotted Oak.
I've read, that things inanimate have mov'd,
And, as with living Souls, have been inform'd,
By Magick Numbers and persuasive Sound.
What then am I? Am I more senseless grown
Than Trees, or Flint? O force of constant Woe!
'Tis not in Harmony to calm my Griefs.
Anselmo sleeps, and is at Peace; last Night
The silent Tomb receiv'd the good Old King;
He and his Sorrows now are safely lodg'd
Within its cold, but hospitable Bosom.
Why am not I at Peace?
3. A fundamental requirement happens to be the child-bearer of an original concocted contraption.

Answer: Necessity is the mother of invention.

"Necessity is the mother of invention" means that when a person is in need of something they will, out of that need, eventually figure out a way to do it.
4. Exonerate the shaft and contaminate the adolescent human.

Answer: Spare the rod and spoil the child.

"Spare the rod and spoil the child" is a saying that means if you are unwilling to punish a child when needed, they will eventually think they will be able to do, or get away with, anything they wish without fear of retribution.
5. Only the end of life, along with money taken from you by the government for public use and need, is absolute.

Answer: Nothing is certain but death and taxes.

The phrase "Nothing is certain but death and taxes" was coined by Ben Franklin while corresponding with French physicist and writer Jean Baptiste Leroy. One of Franklin's comments to Leroy was "Our Constitution is in actual operation. Everything appears to promise that it will last; but in this world nothing is certain but death and taxes."
6. Aged obsessive predispositions solidly cease to live.

Answer: Old habits die hard.

"Old habits die hard" is saying that simply means that once people get accustomed to a way or method of doing something, it is hard to change.
7. Repetitiously exercise that which you sermonize.

Answer: Practice what you preach.

"Practice what you preach" means that if you think you are qualified to give advice on anything, you should follow that same advice yourself.
8. Fifty percent of factuality is, more times than not, one hundred percent a falsehood.

Answer: A half truth is often a whole lie.

"A half truth is often a whole lie" simply means that if anything other than the whole truth is told, a statement will most likely mislead in the same manner as a total lie would.
9. Vindictive retribution happens to be a porringer best presented at a very low temperature.

Answer: Revenge is a dish best served cold.

"Revenge is a dish best served cold" means that it is better to wait longer to seek revenge against someone than to immediately retaliate. Though the dish (food) has grown cold, it seems more satisfying.
10. The capital of the boot-shaped European country jutting into the Mediterranean Sea was not constructed in a 24 hour period.

Answer: Rome wasn't built in a day.

"Rome wasn't built in a day" is a saying used when you are trying to accomplish something that takes more time than other people think it should.
