Abraham Lincoln was born on this date in 1809. Here are some things he said:
- Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power.
- And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years.
- I do not like that man. I must get to know him better.
- Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.
- Whatever you are, be a good one.
- Things may come to those who wait, but only the things left by those who hustle.
- Do I not destroy my enemies when I make them my friends?
- You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time.
- It has been my experience that folks who have no vices have very few virtues.
- I want it said of me by those who knew me best, that I always plucked a thistle and planted a flower where I thought a flower would grow.
