That some achieve great success, is proof to all that others... - Abraham Lincoln

"Whenever I hear anyone arguing for slavery, I feel a strong impulse to see it tried on him personally."

"It is difficult to make a man miserable while he feels worthy of himself and claims kindred to the great God who made him."

"When I do good, I feel good. When I do bad, I feel bad. That's my religion."

"All that I am, or hope to be, I owe to my angel mother."

"You can have anything you want if you want it badly enough. You can be anything you want to be, do anything you set out to accomplish if you hold to that desire with singleness of purpose."
