“’Tis immortality to die aspiring.” – George Chapman

From “Lincoln 365,” by Arnold Kunst

February 17

For Lincoln ambition for a high station in life, as his law partner of nearly 20 years William Herndon put it, was 'a little engine that knew no rest.'

'It is our attitude at the beginning of a difficult task which, more than anything, will determine its successful outcome.'

- William James
