"Doubtless you begin to understand how disagreeable..." - Quote by Abraham Lincoln

“Some single mind must be master, else there will be no agreement in anything.”

“Every man is proud of what he does well; and no man is proud of what he does not do well. With the former, his heart is in his work; and he will do twice as much of it with less fatigue. The latter performs a little imperfectly, looks at it in disgust, turns from it, and imagines himself exceedingly tired. The little he has done, comes to nothing, for want of finishing.”

“Thoughtful men must feel that the fate of civilization upon this continent is involved in the issue of our contest. Among the most satisfying proofs of this conviction is the hearty devotion everywhere exhibited by our schools and colleges to the national cause.”

“Failure -- The man who can tell others what to do and how to do it, but never does it himself.”

“Example is leadership.”

“For me every ruler is alien that defies public opinion.”

“People who work together will win, whether it be against complex football defenses, or the problems of modern society.”

“The success of a vision is determined by its ownership by both the leader and the people.”

“In the laboratory there are no fustian ranks, no brummagem aristocracies; the domain of Science is a republic, and all its citizens are brothers and equals, its princes of Monaco and its stonemasons of Cromarty meeting, barren of man-made gauds and meretricious decorations, upon the one majestic level!”
