From “Lincoln 365,” by Arnold Kunst
June 11
'No
other human occupation opens so wide a field for the profitable and agreeable
combination of labor with cultivated thought, as agriculture. I know of nothing
so pleasant to the mind, as the discovery of anything which is at once new and
valuable -- nothing which so lightens and sweetens toil, as the hopeful pursuit
of such discovery. And how vast, and how varied a field is agriculture, for
such discovery. The mind, already trained to thought, in the country school, or
higher school, cannot fail to find there an exhaustless source of profitable
enjoyment.'
- Abraham Lincoln
'The
winner always manages to find something to enthuse about.'
- Arnold Kunst
