“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

All except Max Martin, Carl Wilhelm Scheele, Sven-Göran Eriksson and Lennart Johansson.

umm... err... uhh..."Spirit merges with matter to sanctify the universe. Matter transcends to return to spirit. The interchangeability of matter and spirit means the starlit magic of the outermost life of our universe becomes the soul-light magic of the innermost life of our self." - Dennis Kucinich, candidate for the U. S. presidency
"That’s the future of the Democratic Party: providing Republicans with a number of cute (but not that bright) comfort women." - Adam Yoshida, Canada's gift to the worldComment

All, except for Max Martin, Carolus Linneaus and Carl Wilhelm Scheele. I suspect they must be Swedish beer drinking champions or maybe hold the record for having the longest hair i länet.
Omissions would seem to be Ingemar Stenmark, Alfred Nobel and quite a few others who had the misfortune of being born just a little too far East, poor chaps.Comment

The list underrepresents some great sportsmen and women. A golfer, a couple tennis players, a couple downhill skiers and at least two dozen hockey players would all be instantly recognizable for me.
I enjoyed the fiction of Sjowall and Wahloo but I don't know how popular their detective series was.
Glad to hear that someone is claiming Pam as Swedish. We don't want her.Comment

I put two sportsmen, a manager and a top-level sports official in there...
Sjövall-Wahlöö would have been a good suggestion.
