Explanation:

For the quote "Don't fire unless fired upon, but if they mean to have a war, let it begin here.":

This quote is associated with Captain John Parker during the Battle of Lexington, a key event in the American Revolutionary War. He was leading the Minutemen and gave this order as British troops approached, setting the stage for the start of armed conflict.

This quote is attributed to John Hancock. When signing the Declaration of Independence, he wrote his name in a large, bold style, reportedly saying this in reference to King George III, implying the king could now easily read his name (and thus potentially increase the bounty on him for his revolutionary actions).

Answer:

John Parker

For the quote "There! His Majesty can now read my name without glasses. And he can double the reward on my head!":
