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

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."

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.

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

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?
