One of the most enjoyable things about writing multiple choice quizzes is thinking up wrong answers. I particularly enjoyed "Pride comes before...dinner"!

I missed #'s 10 and 8. I have never heard "Pride comes before the fall", and I have heard both "Revenge is Best Served Hot" and "Revenge is Best Served Cold." I think you should get rid of one of them.
