"It is bad to be poor. I..." - Quote by Abraham Lincoln

“If we could first know where we are, and whither we are tending, we could then better judge what to do, and how to do it.”

“If you understand what you're doing, you're not learning anything.”

“The person who is incapable of making a mistake, is incapable of anything.”

“Foreign languages, I think they are important but I don't think it should be required because-actually I think they should be teaching you English and then teaching you how to understand double talk-a politician's double talk-not teaching you how to understand French and Spanish and German, when am I going to Germany? I can't even afford to pay my rent in America, how am I going to Germany?”

“You have to be very rich or very poor to live without a trade.”

“The poor have very few hours in which to enjoy themselves; they must take their pleasure raw; they haven't the time to cook it.”

“We all need to be recognized for what we're doing, for our work. Every once in a while we need someone to come up to us and say, 'You're beautiful. That was well done. That's nice.'”

“Beloved, let us live so well our work shall still be better for our love, and still our love be sweeter for our work.”

“If you say that getting the money is the most important thing, you'll spend your life completely wasting your time. You'll be doing things you don't like doing in order to go on living, that is to go on doing thing you don't like doing, which is stupid.”
