Daily quote |
Abraham LincolnWe the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution. What kills a skunk is the publicity it gives itself. Whatever you are, be a good one. 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. When I do good, I feel good. When I do bad, I feel bad. That's my religion. When I hear a man preach, I like to see him act as if he were fighting bees. When you have got an elephant by the hind legs and he is trying to run away, it's best to let him run. Whenever I hear anyone arguing for slavery, I feel a strong impulse to see it tried on him personally. With Malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds. With public sentiment, nothing can fail. Without it, nothing can succeed. |
