Abraham Lincoln

“Whatever you are, be a good one.”

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

“The best way to predict your future is to create it.”

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

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

“I am a slow walker, but I never walk back.”

“Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power.”

“The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.”

“I destroy my enemies when I make them my friends.”

“Character is like a tree and reputation like a shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing.”

“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.”

“The best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time.”

“I will prepare and some day my chance will come.”

“Do not worry; eat three square meals a day; say your prayers; be courteous to your creditors; keep your digestion good; exercise; go slow and easy.”

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