Lincoln’s Wit/Wisdom 376

There were few indeed who agreed with Lincoln in his day, and probably few who would agree with him in our day, but this is what he said, and he stuck by it!
‘Passion has helped us; but can do so no more. It will in future be our enemy. Reason, cold, calculating, unimpassioned reason must furnish all the materials for our future support and defense.’
- Abraham Lincoln
