Talk:a rising tide lifts all boats

This definition does not represent the meaning of the quote. it is selective and biased to make the proposition sound dubious. The definition offered is more an attempt to nutshell a particular interpretation of the popular context, and not a neutral one. Haakondahl (talk) 14:23, 7 September 2014 (UTC)

Mr. Sorensen was trying to tackle economic problems in New England, that he happened upon the phrase. He writes that he noticed that “the regional chamber of commerce, the New England Council, had a thoughtful slogan: ‘A rising tide lifts all the boats.’” From then on, JFK would borrow the slogan often. Sorensen highlights this as an example of quotes mistakenly attributed to President Kennedy. Equinox ◑ 23:10, 22 June 2017 (UTC)
