Quote

All that serves labor serves the Nation. All ^ that harms labor is treason to America. No line can be drawn between these two. If any man tells you he loves America, yet hates labor, he is a liar. If any man tells you he trusts America, yet fears labor, he is a fool. There is no America without labor, and to fleece the one is to rob the other.

Be sure you put your feet in the right place, then stand firm.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
I have always found that mercy bears richer fruits than strict justice.

The trouble with too many people is they believe the realm of truth always lies within their vision.

Image
A man is about as happy as he makes up his mind to be.
Abraham Lincoln

It is easiest to be all things to all men, but it is not honest. Self-respect must be sacrificed every hour in the day.
