You may have heard these quotes all your life, but can you identify the source? Today’s Lunchtime Quiz at mental_floss will give you a phrase, and you decide whether it’s from the Bible or the works of Shakespeare. I scored 70%. Link

    70 % for me as well. It's more challenging than you would think!

    90% - I missed the one about light being sweet to look upon.....(or something like that)

    It's not that hard... Just mark the ones in iambic pentameter as Shakespeare, those that aren't as the Bible. That's what I did, and I got 100%.

    80% There are two Shakespeare quotes that aren't 10 syllables... considering most of Shakespeare is in iambic pentameter.

    60%. I thought I'd do better. but I did use iambic - I just tried to 'feel out' the ones I didn't recognize.
