RE: Who Said This?
Congratulations to Anita! Indeed it was Horace Greeley!! The quote came from a speech given by Greeley. I do not have a specific date for the speech. Good thinking, Anita!

My source for the quote: Lincoln as I Knew Him: Gossip, Tributes, and Revelations from His Best Friends and Worst Enemies edited by Harold Holzer, p. 111.
