From Lincoln's Proclamation of a National Day of Prayer and Fasting
We have been recipients of the choicest bounties of Heaven. We have been preserved, these many years, in peace and prosperity. We have grown in numbers, wealth, and power as no other nation has ever grown; but we have forgotten God. Intoxicated with unbroken success, we have become too self-sufficient to feel the necessity of redeeming and preserving grace, too proud to pray to the God that made us. It behooves us, then, to humble ourselves before the offended Power to confess our national sins, and to pray for clemency and forgiveness.
Gettysburg Address 1863
From the Cerebral Center of Lincoln
- Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power.
- What kills a skunk is the publicity it gives itself.
- Tact: the ability to describe others as they see themselves.
- It has been my experience that folks who have no vices have very few virtues.
- No man has a good enough memory to make a successful liar.
- When you have got an elephant by the hind legs and he is trying to run away, it's best to let him run.
- I don't think much of a man who is not wiser today than he was yesterday.
