From “Lincoln 365,” by Arnold Kunst:
November 17
'I have no other goal so great as
that of being truly esteemed of my fellow men, by rendering myself worthy of
their esteem. How far I shall succeed in gratifying this ambition is yet to be
developed,' said Abraham Lincoln, age 23, in his very first election speech. If
they elected him, he would regard it as a favor. If not, 'I have been too
familiar with disappointments to be very much chagrined.'
'When the winner walks into a room,
somehow everybody in that room knows instinctively that something just happened.'
