Abe Lincoln! LOL. One of my favorite quotes by him.

"I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go. Things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right. You believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together."

"The Marines I have seen around the world have the cleanest bodies, the filthiest minds, the highest morale, and the lowest morals of any group of animals I have ever seen. Thank God for the United States Marine Corps!”

I can still hardly believe it, but I don't think my buddy who helped me is pulling my leg. It was said by the venerable wife of F.D.R., Eleanor Roosevelt.

Next quote: "You may fire when ready, Gridley."

C'mon you military guys. Hint: It was said by a U.S. officer during a naval engagement.

I'll have to ask my hubby for help on this one....

Grand Moff Tarkin?

Commodore Dewey, during the Spanish American war. (I had to get help on that one - not a war buff. But hubby is!)

Upon my first reading, your quote looked like one said by Saint Francis of Assisi, I was subsequently corrected. It was a different saint: Mother Theresa.

New quote, military again: "All very successful commanders are prima donnas and must be treated as such."

This quote will require a lil' bit of military history backgrounding. Sounds like the work is cut out for Ladybugsmom's husband, eh?

He thought that one was easy.... Patton.

He suggested this one in response:
"A general is just as good or just as bad as the troops under his command make him"

Is this new quote being revealed from the start as a Patton saying? If so, give us your NEW QUOTE to work on.

By the way, I take it that you liked my last one, eh? Me, too. Those WWII quotes are always so pithy, wouldn't ya' say?
