“Fear not, for God hath not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” – II Timothy 1:7

From “Lincoln 365,” by Arnold Kunst:

November 27

'I have now come to the conclusion never again to think of marrying; and for this reason; I can never be satisfied with anyone who would be block-head enough to have me.'

- Abraham Lincoln

'Hiding in my room, Safe within my womb,

I touch no one and no one touches me.

I am a rock, I am an island.

And a rock feels no pain;

And an island never cries.'

- Paul Simon
