Lincoln . . .


(from http://www.brainyquote.com/photos/a/abrahamlincoln151232.jpg)
I destroy my enemies when I make them my friends.

No man has a good enough memory to be a successful liar.

Government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the Earth.

A house divided against itself cannot stand.

I want it said of me by those who knew me best, that I always plucked a thistle and planted a flower where I thought a flower would grow.

When I hear a man preach, I like to see him act as if he were fighting bees.

To give victory to the right, not bloody bullets, but peaceful ballots only, are necessary.

These capitalists generally act harmoniously and in concert to fleece the people; and now that they have got into a quarrel with themselves, we are called upon to appropriate the people's money to settle the quarrel.

He has a right to criticize, who has a heart to help.

At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide.

When I am getting ready to reason with a man, I spend one-third of my time thinking about myself and what I am going to say and two-thirds about him and what he is going to say.

If once you forfeit the confidence of your fellow-citizens, you can never regain their respect and esteem.
