Abraham Lincoln

  • Be sure you put your feet in the right place, then stand firm.
  • Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other.
  • No man has a good enough memory to be a successful liar.
  • I walk slowly, but I never walk backward.
  • You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves.
  • Am I not destroying my enemies when I make friends of them?
  • The philosophy of the school room in one generation will be the philosophy of government in the next.
  • A friend is one who has the same enemies as you have.
  • Avoid popularity if you would have peace.
  • Most folks are about as happy as they make their minds up to be.
