Who said it?
« on: September 28, 2009, 09:14:57 PM »
My only rule: PLEASE do not look it up before answering.

Oh, and don't read below here before answering.

And don't make claims like "my only rule" when you are bound to think of something else to add as a rule.

 It "feels" like Einstein, and I am not sure why, so I put Einstein.

Very interesting indeed.  I guessed incorrectly.

Thanks jinx.

I haven't checked to see if I was right or wrong yet.  Figured I would wait and see what the response was.

Yep.  It was Einstein, as quoted in a TIME interview.

I guessed correctly.

It's known that Mother Theresa had some serious doubts about her own faith, as odd as it seems. Many personal letters of hers were filled with foreboding - it's as if she thought she was living a lie.

Pat Robertson? A statement like that only, perhaps, if the TV cameras were on.

It sounds too bombastic to have been John Paul II, and FDR? Fugeddaboutit - he was a New Yawker.
