Lincoln Discussion Symposium

Sorry, Roger, not him! Ein gutes neues Jahr, BTW!
Hint #1: The century is correct!

Hint #2: One of his former professions was being a teacher.

Chester Arthur?

Was it either John Adams or John Quincy Adams?

Good guesses from both of you, but it was none of these presidents. Although all three spoke Latin, and J.Q.A. also spoke Greek.
Roger (N.), you are VERY close.

Then I'll guess James Garfield.

This is correct, Roger! Very good!

You win Garfield's New Year philosophy:

...well, the first day of the new year probably deserves a more dignified prize, voilà:

I wonder if that gentleman had also said to the lady: "I want to dance with you the worst way"?

Which First Lady told her son, "Your ignorance of politics is not a grave offense. You could not expect to know and enjoy politics as I do."

Sounds like 19th century, so I guess Dolly Madison.

Good try, Eva, as you are in the right century. But it wasn't her (she?).

Ok, I'll try Julia Grant then.

Nope, not her.

Hint #1: The prize for this is one 64 oz. carton of lemonade.

Abigail Adams?

Nope, not her.

Hint #2: The prize has been raised to two 64 oz. cartons of delicious ice cold lemonade.

Lemonade Lucy Hayes?
