"Woe unto the world because of offenses;..." - Quote by Abraham Lincoln

“I am a moderate walker, however I never stroll back.”

“Thus let bygones be bygones. Let past differences, as nothing be.”

“If we have no friends, we have no pleasure; and if we have them, we are sure to lose them, and be doubly pained by the loss.”

“Our crime against criminals lies in the fact that we treat them like rascals.”

“Let your secret sympathies and your compassion be always with the under dog in the fight -- this is magnanimity; but bet on the other one -- this is business.”

“No justification of virtue will enable a man to be virtuous. Without the aid of trained emotions the intellect is powerless against the animal organism. I had sooner play cards against a man who was quite skeptical about ethics, but bred to believe that ‘a gentleman does not cheat’, than against an irreproachable moral philosopher who had been brought up among sharpers.”

“They say the chains of habit are too light to be felt until they are too heavy to be broken. The chains you put around yourself now have enormous consequences as you go through life.”

“The least initial deviation from the truth is multiplied later a thousandfold.”

“Unlimited activity, of whatever kind, must end in bankruptcy.”
