Abe on Charactor

On Character

"Most folks are as happy as they make up their minds to be."

“In the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years.”

“Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other.”

“A friend is one who has the same enemies as you have.”

"Perhaps a man's character was like a tree, and his reputation like its shadow; the shadow is what we think of it, the tree is the real thing."

"Leave nothing for tomorrow which can be done today."

“I have always found that mercy bears richer fruits than strict justice.”

“Be sure you put your feet in the right place, then stand firm.”

“Don't worry when you are not recognized, but strive to be worthy of recognition.”

“I walk slowly, but I never walk backward.”

Abraham Lincoln
