Abraham Lincoln
Why don't I drink from a straw? Because straws are for suckers.
Abraham Lincoln
I am approached with the most opposite opinions and advice, and that by religious men, who are equally certain that they represent the Divine will. I am sure that either the one or the other class is mistaken in that belief, and perhaps in some respects both.
Abraham Lincoln
