"Care for him who shall have borne..." - Quote by Abraham Lincoln

“I never encourage deceit, and falsehood, especially if you have got a bad memory, is the worst enemy a fellow can have. The fact is truth is your truest friend, no matter what the circumstances are.”

“It is a great piece of folly to attempt to make anything out of my early life.”

“Commitment is what transforms a promise into reality.”

“A sense of concern for others gives our lives meaning; it is the root of all human happiness”

“It seems that for some people the idea of compassion entails a complete disregard for or even a sacrifice of their own interests. This is not the case. In fact, you first of all have to have a wish to be happy yourself - if you don't love yourself like that, how can you love others?”

“Anger and hatred lead to fear; compassion and concern for others allow us to develop self-confidence, which breeds trust and friendship.”

“Throughout America today, we honor the dead of our wars. We recall their valor and their sacrifices. We remember they gave their lives so that others might live.”

“So long as I'm Commander-in-Chief, we will sustain the strongest military the world has ever known. When you take off the uniform, we will serve you as well as you've served us - because no one who fights for this country should have to fight for a job, or a roof over their head, or the care that they need when they come home.”

“Because Vietnam was not a declared war, the veterans are not even eligible for the G. I. Bill of Rights with respect to education or anything.”
