If If You Compare Yourself To Abraham Lincoln—
When You’re Wrong, Admit It And
Don’t Take Credit For What You Didn’t Do
Abraham Lincoln
To his general after a crucial victory:
“I write this now as a grateful acknowledgment for the almost inestimable service you have done the country…
I thought you should go down the river and join Gen. Banks; and when you turned Northward…I feared it was a mistake. I now wish to make the personal acknowledgment that you were right, and I was wrong.
Yours very truly
A. Lincoln July 13, 1863

“When you have 15 people, and the 15 within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero, that’s a pretty good job we’ve done.”
