“The mountains are calling, and I must go.” – John Muir

From “Lincoln 365,” by Arnold Kunst:
October 30
 ‘The Lincolns enjoyed a relatively stable marriage…. Lincoln, for his part, understood Mary better than anyone, loved her in spite of her flaws, shielded her from criticism, and remained thoroughly loyal to her as a husband. In turn, Mary could be tender to him, extremely tender. And no matter how lonely she was with him gone so much of the time, she shared his love of politics, wanted him to succeed, and was fiercely proud of him.’
Stephen Oates

‘If God created shadows it was to better emphasize the light.’
- Pope John XXIII
