| tengrain: "The trouble with the Internet is that you cannot believe everything you read." – Abraham Lincoln |
..."According to Quote Investigator, a website that tracks the source of quotes, there is no evidence Lincoln uttered this phrase. The website traced the quote back, not to Lincoln, but to a 1947 book advertisement about aging by Dr. Edward Stieglitz."What, this doesn't seem like Lincoln's rhetorical style? More like an ad slogan?
And wishing him "Happy Birthday"... He would have lived longer, if it hadn't been for someone ideologically aligned with the 21st century GOP.
On the other hand... Reagan; now there's a Republican who went big for this kind of faux wisdom. And surely would have believed he thought of it himself.
