Not according to what I've read, and he was alive long before kissinger. Did kissinger try to make a mockery of James by repeating him, well that's possible but that doesn't make him the originator.
Show me proof because everything I've read (various books) this full quote is attributed to Garfield himself. I'm not calling you a lier but I am saying I don't believe you.
Except that whole second half of the quote is from Kissinger.

Pop the entire quote into any search engine and have a read.
Do your own research, as we say.
