From “Lincoln 365,” by Arnold Kunst
January 21
After relieving General George
McClellan of command of the Army of the Potomac Lincoln was asked what he would
reply to McClellan's earlier advice on how to carry on the affairs of the
nation. And Lincoln answered: 'nothing - but it makes me think of the man whose
horse kicked up and stuck his foot through the stirrup. The man said to the
horse, 'if you're going to get on I'm going to get off.''’
'One doesn't have a sense of humor.
It has you.'
- Larry Gilbert
