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.'
- Calvin Coolidge
