Daily quote |
Abraham LincolnIn giving freedom to the slave, we assure freedom to the free - honorable alike in what we give and what we preserve. We shall nobly save, or meanly lose, the last best hope of earth. In great contests each party claims to act in accordance with the will of God. Both may be, and one must be wrong. In the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years. You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time. You cannot build character and courage by taking away a man's initiative and independence. You cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today. You have to do your own growing no matter how tall your grandfather was. It has been my experience that folks who have no vices have very few virtues. It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt. Knavery and flattery are blood relations. |
