Abraham Lincoln

"The philosophy of the school room in one generation will be the philosophy of government in the next."~Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln (February 12, 1809 – April 15, 1865) was the 16th President of the United States, serving from March 1861 until his assassination in April 1865. Lincoln led the United States through its Civil War—its bloodiest war and its greatest moral, constitutional, and political crisis. In doing so, he preserved the Union, abolished slavery, strengthened the federal government, and modernized the economy.

I realize that if you were educated in our government schools you probably spent about 15 minutes studying Abraham Lincoln  Here are a few of the things that he said that should give you pause to make you think about where we are going as a country and as a civilization.

"We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution."


"You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time."

"Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt."


"Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe."


'You cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today."


"My dream is of a place and a time where America will once again be seen as the last best hope of earth."


Just think about what's happening to these United States.  I guess the old saying is true, those who refuse to learn from history are bound to repeat it.  Then again, you probably were never taught anything about Lincoln...

Know.  Be Known.  Make A Difference!
