I remember my mother's prayers and they have always followed... - Abraham Lincoln

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

"That some achieve great success, is proof to all that others can achieve it as well."

"Those who look for the bad in people will surely find it."

"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"

"All I have learned, I learned from books."
