Hearts and minds

Posted by Asa Wages on May 09, 2009 at 18:53

The phrase "When you have them by the balls their hearts and minds will follow" has been traced back to Teddy Roosevelt, but I read somewhere years ago that it was first said by U.S. General "the only good Indian is a dead Indian" Sheridan. He said this about Southerners when they lost their war for independence.
