Abraham Lincoln


Character is like a tree and reputation like a shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing.

Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.


How many legs does a dog have if you call the tail a leg? Four. Calling a tail a leg doesn't make it a leg.

I destroy my enemies when I make them my friends.

If I were to try to read, much less answer, all the attacks made on me, this shop might as well be closed for any other business.


Abraham Lincoln (February 12, 1809 – April 15, 1865) served as the 16th President of the United States from March 1861 until his assassination in April 1865. He successfully led his country through its greatest internal crisis, the American Civil War, preserving the Union and ending slavery.
