“One day you’ll make peace with your demons, and the chaos in your heart will settle flat. And maybe for the first time in your life, life will smile right back at you and welcome you home.” - R. M. Drake

From “Lincoln 365,” by Arnold Kunst:

December 28

'The colored population is the great available, and yet unavailed of, force for restoring the Union. The bare sight of fifty thousand armed, and drilled black soldiers on the banks of the Mississippi would end the rebellion at once.'

- Abraham Lincoln

'Keep your eyes on the stars and your feet on the ground.'

- Theodore Roosevelt
