    Quotes like this are one of the million reasons I adore Abraham Lincoln and why my second-born has Lincoln as his middle name. What an incredible human being.

    LOVE Lincoln! He was such a wise and yet humble man!

    And I love the quote. And I must admit, the people I think love me best, buy me books. πŸ™‚
