Thanks Roger, although half the time I can't remember where I put my glasses.

Best

RE: Who Said This?
Who said this?

"Just before my birth my mother had them remove her into the log part of the house. She wanted me to be born in a log house. She had read the life of Lincoln. So I got the log house end of it OK. All I need now is the other qualifications."

So when is this "Old Enough To Know Better" supposed to kick in?

RE: Who Said This?
Was it another US president? (I think there were two, three others born in a log house.)

RE: Who Said This?
All good guesses.

It was not Earhart
Is/was an American
Not another US President

This person is/was a successful star of film and stage.

RE: Who Said This?
Yes, Eva.
This person had a very popular newspaper column and also ran for President of the United States.

Not D W Griffin, but our mystery person was in three movies directed by John Ford

Very good Rogerm
It was Will Rogers - a very unique person,

Here is a little more about him from wikipedia.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Will_Rogers

Here are just a few Will Rogers quotes from the "Here Are Just a Few Will Rogers Quotes" web site
https://www.willrogers.com/quotes

Your prize for the correct answer is the enjoyment from listening to this song, The Ballad of Will Roger by Chris LeDoux
