Abraham Lincoln

Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power.

I do not think much of a man who is not wiser today than he was yesterday.

Be sure you put your feet in the right place, then stand firm.

Whatever you are, be a good one.

The best way to predict your future is to create it.

In the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years.

I am a slow walker, but I never walk back.

Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe.

Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves.

…And that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the Earth.

…That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom.

My great concern is not whether you have failed, but whether you are content with your failure.
