Abraham Lincoln and Charles Darwin were both born on this same day in 1809
He can compress the most words into the smallest ideas of any man I ever met.
-- Abraham Lincoln
Quarrel not at all. No man resolved to make the most of himself can spare time for personal contention... Better give your path to a dog than be bitten by him in contesting for the right. Even killing the dog would not cure his bite.
-- Abraham Lincoln
You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred. You cannot build character and courage by taking away people's initiative and independence. You cannot help people permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves.
-- Abraham Lincoln
