From “Lincoln 365,” by Arnold Kunst:
March 14
'The
world has seen and wondered at the greatest sign and marvel of our day, to-wit,
a plain working man of the people, with no more culture, instruction or
education than any such working man may obtain for himself, called on to
conduct the passage of a great people through a crisis involving the destinies
of the whole world... '

Harriet Beecher Stowe on Abraham Lincoln as President
'Nothing
in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is
more common than the unsuccessful man with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded
genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated
derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan
'press on' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.'
