Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
Twenty-two years ago Judge [then-Senator Stephen] Douglas and I first became acquainted. We were both young then he a trifle younger than I. Even then, we were both ambitious I, perhaps, quite as much so as he. With me, the race of ambition has been a failure--a flat failure with him it has been one of splendid success.
Abraham Lincoln
What are you gonna do for a face when the baboon wants his ass back?
Abraham Lincoln
Writing, the art of communicating thoughts to the mind through the eye, is the great invention of the world.
Abraham Lincoln
The only assurance of our nation's safety is to lay our foundation in morality and religion.
Abraham Lincoln
