“Washington was a typical American. Napoleon was a typical Frenchman, but Lincoln was a humanitarian as broad as the world. He was bigger than his country — bigger than all the Presidents together.” - Leo Tolstoy

 From “Lincoln 365,” by Arnold Kunst

“Periodically you are called on to progress to a new phase of your life. That often means a new birth to a phase of greater profundity. You may not know where that phase will spring from, or what form it will take, or where it will lead, but like the deep stillness before a great storm, be aware that, if you but consent, primordial strength is gathering for a crescendo of magnificent proportions.” - Arnold Kunst
