William Henry Seward, Secretary of State.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 02-28-2017 03:15 PM
Excellent, Roger!! You win! Kudos. William Seward is the person.
There are more details about Seward's note here.

What well-known person said this about Abraham Lincoln?
"His birth brought into the world the miracle of a new life, than which none has ever exercised a more profound influence upon the civilization of the time. It was the beginning of a life the memory of whose unselfish devotion to the welfare of mankind will live as long as men prize liberty. In its fullness a nation consecrated to the doctrine of human rights was saved from destruction. The sacrifices that marked its course presaged a finer relationship among races and peoples."
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Gene C - 04-09-2017 08:10 AM
That sounds like something a political leader might say, and prior to 1970.
Am I on the right track?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 04-09-2017 09:07 AM
He was a leader, Gene, but it was in the military. And, you are correct, the quote in the question is prior to 1970.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - L Verge - 04-09-2017 11:00 AM
I don't have a clue, but I'll guess at Gen. George Patton (a favorite of mine).
BTW: I recently came across a quote that I really agree with, but have no idea who said it: “Leadership is about the future, so all true leadership begins with vision.” There was a similar one right before it that said "Management is about the present. Leadership is about the future."
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Eva Elisabeth - 04-09-2017 11:04 AM
Henry Deming?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 04-09-2017 11:52 AM
I am sorry, Laurie and Eva, but it was neither Patton nor Deming.
Hint #1: This man was once considered a possible Presidential candidate.

Before or after 1900?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 04-09-2017 12:02 PM
After 1900
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Wild Bill - 04-09-2017 12:40 PM
MacArthur
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Eva Elisabeth - 04-09-2017 01:25 PM
Another US President?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 04-09-2017 02:55 PM
Bill, it was not MacArthur, and Eva, the man never became a U.S. President.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Eva Elisabeth - 04-09-2017 02:57 PM
Is his name familiar or(/and) has been mentioned on the forum (ever) before?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 04-09-2017 03:31 PM
Yes, it's a familiar name in history, and he has been mentioned before. The last time he was mentioned was in a post by Bill R.
