Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. "Time is money."

Answer: Benjamin Franklin

Although this is a very famous and well used quote, few know that Benjamin Franklin was actually the one who said it.

2. Who is reported to have said, "Any customer can have... any colour that he wants so long as it is black. "

Answer: Henry Ford

Ford was really the first one to start mass producing cars. Since it was cheaper and easier, his models were all one color, and black was the ideal color for cars at the time. Whether this phrase was ever uttered by Ford is disputed but it has undoubtedly become attached to his legend nevertheless.

This is my personal favorite quote of all time. Lincoln was not famous for many quotes, but I believe this one was one of his best.

10. "A coward dies a thousand deaths, the brave just one."

Answer: Anonymous

Many people will argue that Shakespeare was the one who actually said this quote. Yes, it's true that he did include this quote in one of his published works, but the official agreement stated that it would be given to the ever elusive Anonymous. Shakespeare was merely using this quote to empathsize his point.
