Quote Hunt
February 25th, 2010
Anyone know the author of this quote:
“You can accomplish anything if you are willing to take credit for nothing.”
No clues on looking through the web. Could it be Gandhi?
" The world is mud-luscious
and puddle-wonderful "
e.e.cummings

Found it, slightly re-worded. I had this on a small file of “inspiration quotes” in the back of a journal, and knew it sounded familiar.
Here you ho.
“It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.”
-Harry S Truman

here you GO. (silly typos)
Maebius – I am so impressed (despite typo!) Fantastic – thank you! An interesting detail in the way it has morphed: Truman makes a reasonable statement: “It is amazing what you can accomplish”. It then gets a dose of New Age hubris and becomes: “You can accomplish anything’. We might like that idea with our fantasies of omnipotence, but in my book you can accomplish amazing things but not ‘anything’ (like build Rome in a day for example?)!
