"In this age, in this country, public..." - Quote by Abraham Lincoln

“It would astonish if not amuse the older citizens to learn that I (a strange, friendless, uneducated, penniless boy, working at ten dollars per month) have been put down as the candidate of pride, wealth, and aristocratic family distinction.”

“I hold that while a man exists, it is his duty to improve not only his own condition, but to assist in ameliorating mankind.”

“The privilege of creating and issuing money is not only the supreme prerogative of government, but it is the government's greatest creative opportunity.”

“Public opinion is the thermometer a monarch should constantly consult.”

“Leadership does not always wear the harness of compromise. Once and again one of those great influences which we call a Cause arises in the midst of a nation. Men of strenuous minds and high ideals come forward.... The attacks they sustain are more cruel than the collision of arms.... Friends desert and despise them.... They stand alone and oftentimes are made bitter by their isolation.... They are doing nothing less than defy public opinion, and shall they convert it by blows. Yes.”

“There is probably a perverse pride in my administration... that we were going to do the right thing, even if short-term it was unpopular. And I think anybody who's occupied this office has to remember that success is determined by an intersection in policy and politics and that you can't be neglecting of marketing and P.R. and public opinion.”

“You can make positive deposits in your own economy every day by reading and listening to powerful, positive, life-changing content and by associating with encouraging and hope-building people.”

“There is no group in America that can withstand the force of an aroused public opinion.”

“General Motors could buy Delaware if DuPont were willing to sell it.”
