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. |

"He (Lincoln) never revealed himself entirely to any one man, and therefore he will always to a certain respect always remain enveloped in doubt. So when is this "Old Enough To Know Better" supposed to kick in? |

RE: Who Said This?
Good guess, but it was not Stanton.
This man was also an attorney, politician and farmer. So when is this "Old Enough To Know Better" supposed to kick in? |
