Abraham Lincoln
You cannot fail unless you quit.
Abraham Lincoln
The leading rule for the lawyer, as for the man of every other calling, is diligence. Leave nothing for to-morrow which can be done to-day. Never let your correspondence fall behind. Whatever piece of business you have in hand, before stopping, do all the labor pertaining to it which can then be done.
Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln
Common looking people are the best in the world: that is the reason the Lord makes so many of them.
