"There is more involved in this contest..." - Quote by Abraham Lincoln

“The power confided in me will be used to hold, occupy and possess the property and places belonging to the government, and to collect the duties and imposts.”

“There is no America without labor, and to fleece the one is to rob the other.”

“Behind the cloud the sun is still shining.”

“The pages of your past cannot be rewritten, but the pages of your tomorrows are blank.”

“The vanishing, volatile froth of the present which any shadow will alter, any thought blow away, any event annihilate, is every moment converted into the adamantine.”

“Learn as if you will live forever.”

“So it is with children who learn to read fluently and well: They begin to take flight into whole new worlds as effortlessly as young birds take to the sky.”

“Each child should try to see in his parents the children they previously were. Each parent should try to see in his child the adult he seems to be becoming.”

“Kindness to children, love for children, goodness to children-- these are the only investments that never fail.”
