From
“Lincoln 365,” by Arnold Kunst:
November 9
On meeting General Philip Sheridan,
who was only 5' 4,” Lincoln shook his hand and said, 'General Sheridan, when
this peculiar war began I thought cavalrymen should be at least 6 feet 4 inches
high, but,' still gazing down on the short general, 'I have changed my mind: 5'
4’ will do in a pinch.'
- Abraham Lincoln
'Every man is a divinity in
disguise, a god playing the fool.'
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
