The Lord prefers common-looking people. That is why he made... - Abraham Lincoln

"Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any one thing."

"Upon the subject of education, not presuming to dictate any plan or system respecting it, I can only say that I view it as the most important subject which we as a people can be engaged in."

"The Lord prefers common-looking people. That is why he made so many of them."

"I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live up to what light I have."

"Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power."
