Abe Lincoln and that should be enough reason for you to read this post


I haz an idea! I wanna make this a quote a day blog :D To start it off, here are some of my favorites from Abraham Lincoln!

Don't worry when you are not recognized, but strive to be worthy of recognition.

I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live by the light that I have. I must stand with anybody that stands right, and stand with him while he is right, and part with him when he goes wrong.

I care not much for a man's religion whose dog and cat are not the better for it.

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

I don't like that man. I must get to know him better.

I have always found that mercy bears richer fruits than strict justice.

It has been my experience that folks who have no vices have very few virtues.

Most folks are as happy as they make up their minds to be.

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

Sir, my concern is not whether God is on our side; my greatest concern is to be on God's side, for God is always right.

Surely God would not have created such a being as man, with an ability to grasp the infinite, to exist only for a day! No, no, man was made for immortality.

The probability that we may fail in the struggle ought not to deter us from the support of a cause we believe to be just.

The things I want to know are in books; my best friend is the man who'll get me a book I ain't read.

Things may come to those who wait, but only the things left by those who hustle.

-Abraham Lincoln


Damn I wish he was my grandfather! That guy is AWESOME :D <3
