From “Lincoln 365,” by Arnold Kunst
June 8
In January 1864 James Russell
Lowell sketched Lincoln as 'so gently guiding public sentiment that he seems to
follow it, by so yielding doubtful points that he can be firm without seeming
obstinate in essential ones.'
‘Patience and perseverance have a
magical effect before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish.’
- John Quincy Adams
