But I do mean to say that although bad laws, if they exist, should be repealed as soon as possible, still, while they continue in force, for the sake of example they should be religiously observed.

 

Abraham Lincoln

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

 Aloha Kristin,

These quotes are inspiring and reveal the magnificent content of Lincoln's character. My favorite quote for me to remember is "better to remain silent..." and for others to hold dear "I am a firm believer in the People..."

Abe Lincoln was a wise man!  Growing up in Illinois, he was a large part of our history lessons.
