RE: Extra Credit Questions - Rogerm - 02-28-2017
William Henry Seward, Secretary of State.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 02-28-2017
Excellent, Roger!! You win! Kudos. William Seward is the person.
There are more details about Seward's note here.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 04-09-2017
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
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
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
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
Henry Deming?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 04-09-2017
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
After 1900
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Wild Bill - 04-09-2017
MacArthur
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Eva Elisabeth - 04-09-2017
Another US President?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 04-09-2017
Bill, it was not MacArthur, and Eva, the man never became a U.S. President.
RE: Extra Credit Questions - Eva Elisabeth - 04-09-2017
Is his name familiar or(/and) has been mentioned on the forum (ever) before?
RE: Extra Credit Questions - RJNorton - 04-09-2017
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.
