"If the good people in their wisdom..." - Quote by Abraham Lincoln

“It doesn't mater if you're a slow walker, so long as you don't walk backwards.”

“Kindness is the only service that will stand the storm of life and not wash out.”

“I desire to see the time when education, and by its means, morality, sobriety, enterprise and industry shall become much more general than at present.”

“Misanthropy ariseth from a man trusting another without having sufficient knowledge of his character, and, thinking him to be truthful, sincere, and honourable, finds a little afterwards that he is wicked, faithless, and then he meets with another of the same character. When a man experiences this often, and more particularly from those whom he considered his most dear and best friends, at last, having frequently made a slip, he hates the whole world, and thinks that there is nothing sound at all in any of them.”

“I hate it in friends when they come too late to help.”

“Napoleon Hill saw this law of transmutation as the seed of equivalent benefit: With every disappointment, heartbreak, or failure, there exists an equal (usually greater) positive benefit.”

“It is the wise man's part to leave in darkness everything that is ugly.”

“If we encounter a man of rare intellect, we should ask him what books he reads.”

“Each of our passions, even love, has a stomach that must not be overloaded. We must in everything write the word 'finis' in time; we must restrain ourselves, when it becomes urgent; we must draw the bolt on the appetite, play a fantasia on the violin, then break the strings with our own hand. The Wise man is he who knows when and how to stop.”
