“Strong convictions precede great actions.” – James Freeman Clarke

From “Lincoln 365,” by Arnold Kunst:
October 29
'In your hands, my dissatisfied fellow-countrymen, and not in mine, is the momentous issue of civil war. The Government will not assail you. You can have no conflict without being yourselves the aggressors. You have no oath registered in heaven to destroy the Government, while I shall have the most solemn one to “preserve, protect, and defend” it.’
- Abraham Lincoln, First Inaugural Address

‘One of the true tests of leadership is the ability to recognize a problem before it becomes an emergency.’
