“The taste of defeat has a richness of experience all its own.” - Bill Bradley

 From “Lincoln 365,” by Arnold Kunst 

March 18 

“I am glad I made the late race [Lincoln lost the senate race against Stephen Douglas in 1858]. It gave me a hearing on the great and durable questions of the age, which I could have had in no other way; and though I now sink out of view, and shall be forgotten, I believe I have made some marks which will tell for the cause of civil liberty long after I am gone.” - Abraham Lincoln
