The Lever



Upton Sinclair once said, “It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.” I don't know who said, "When you've got them by the balls, their hearts and minds will follow." The above scenario might also remind you of the classic story "Button, Button." From Married to the Sea.

  1. "When you have them by the balls..." is supposed to be a teddy Roosevelt quote.
    In my youth I always heard it as, "When you have them by the short hairs...".
    Ron Reagan is credited with that by google, but he didn't originate it as I heard it back in the 50s.
