Happy Birthday Mr. Lincoln, born on this date in 1809
Whatever you are, be a good one.
I will study and get ready, and perhaps my chance will come.
Whatever you are, be a good one.
Let not him who is houseless pull down the house of another, but let him work diligently and build one for himself, thus by example assuring that his own shall be safe from violence when built.
Will springs from the two elements of moral sense and self-interest.
My great concern is not whether you have failed, but whether you are content with your failure.
The way for a young man to rise is to improve himself in every way he can, never suspecting that anybody wishes to hinder him.
I am a slow walker, but I never walk backwards.
I will prepare and some day my chance will come.
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.
