I never heard this story. I suppose it is true?

A wee little man can’t say, I’m sorry. A big man owns his mistakes and apologizes.
A wee little man trusts himself and his own discernment. A big man is humble enough to know that he needs the counsel and input of others.

AI slop, like most of Facebook "history" pages.
Think about it - the claim is that they married in 1862, that Sofia supported Leo through 58 years of marriage, and that she died in 1919, nine years after Leo died. You do the math.
The broad outlines might be generally accurate but I'd rather read history written by a person rather than a machine.

One would think machines could figure out basic addition.
