"I was raised to farm work...." - Quote by Abraham Lincoln

“I have just read your dispatch about sore-tongued and fatigued horses, Will you pardon me for asking what the horses of your army have done since the Battle of Antietam that fatigues anything?”

“You may have a wen or a cancer upon your person and not be able to cut it out lest you bleed to death; but surely it is no way tocure it, to engraft it and spread it over your whole body.”

“Property is the fruit of labor; property is desirable; it is a positive good.”

“High society is for those who have stopped working and no longer have anything important to do.”

“Work and play are words used to describe the same thing under differing conditions.”

“Play needs direction as well as work.”

“There was a very cautious man Who never laughed or played He never risked, he never tried, He never sang or prayed. And when he on day passed away, His insurance was denied, For since he never really lived, They claimed he never really died. (Anonymous poem)”

“Don’t worry about things. Don’t push. Just do your work and you’ll survive. The important thing is to have a ball, to be joyful, to be loving and to be explosive. Out of that comes everything and you grow.”

“The good and the wise lead quiet lives.”
