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

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

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

"I can see how it might be possible for a man to look down upon the earth and be an atheist, but I cannot conceive how a man could look up into the heavens and say there is no God."

"Folks are usually about as happy as they make their minds up to be."

"If there is anything that links the human to the divine, it is the courage to stand by a principle when everybody else rejects it."
