May I please recommence?

"Veni, vidi, vici."

Sorry, it was Francis Bacon. I get the shut out.

Your quote is from Ceasar. "I came, I saw, I conquered."

Next quote: "Facts are stubborn things"

John Adams. (I remember when Reagan misquoted him by saying "Facts are stupid things" LOL!!!!)

And more about facts.....

Hmm, yeah, the "Aldus" oughta' be "Aldous". Now this second bit about "F 'em!" could only be a very inhibited character afraid of sayin' "**** 'em!" as would a normal person.

This prolly would cover politicians wanting to be "one of the boys", yet still up for tea with the granny ladies bridge club. How 'bout Barrack Obama or Mitten Romney?

By the way I said F 'em because of the moderators not that he was inhibited in any way obviously, LOL, and here's a good one.

"When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached, don't adjust the goals, adjust the action steps."

This quote is worded in a direct manner and about a subject (general problem solving) that I believe not to have been a topic of discussion until the latter part of the Twentieth Century. This narrows the field of candidates.

Could it be Warren Buffet or Steve Jobs?

Nope, Ivas - much older.... That one is by Confucius....

Here's a more modern take on it for ya!
"I had to pick myself up and get on with it, do it all over again, only even better this time."

The wife says that your quote was spoken by the CEO of Target Stores. She seems pretty adamant; I ain't gonna' doubt her on this.

New quote: "Sic semper tyrannis!"

John Wilkes Booth - Thus always to tyrants.

Next quote: "My religious belief teaches me to feel as safe in battle as in bed. God has fixed the time for my death. I do not concern myself about that, but to always be ready, no matter when it may overtake me."

Ladybugsmom · 08-28-2011, 02:56 PM

Hey - everyone moved on, and it wasn't answered correctly.....
Try again, guys....
"I had to pick myself up and get on with it, do it all over again, only even better this time." Just to remind you.....

Ooo, we ARE being picky today, aren't we. The update is that it was said by the CEO of Walmart, not Target.

The religious teachings one was said by General "Stonewall" Jackson (I learned this one from the PBS documentary on the Civil War by Ken Burns)

Are we all happy and up to date now?

New quote: "Ecce Homo."
