All I have learned, I learned from books. - Abraham Lincoln

"I laugh because I must not cry, that is all, that is all."

"Republicans are for both the man and the dollar, but in case of conflict the man before the dollar."

"Do I not destroy my enemies when I make them my friends?"

"Let no feeling of discouragement preyupon you, and in the end you are sure to succeed."

"The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battle-field, and patriot grave, to every living heart and hearth-stone, all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union, when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.--as quoted in THE RIVER OF WINGED DREAMS"
