Quotes
"I desire to so conduct the affairs of this administration that if at the end, when I come to lay down the reins of power, I have lost every other friend on earth, I shall at least have one friend left, and that friend shall be down inside of me."
Letters
“I have scarcely felt greater pain in my life than on learning yesterday from Bob's letter, that you had failed to enter Harvard University. And yet there is very little in it, if you will allow no feeling of discouragement to seize, and prey upon you. It is a certain truth, that you can enter, and graduate in, Harvard University; and having made the at- tempt, you must succeed in it. "Must" is the word."

About me:
Bookmark and share information about Abraham Lincoln

I was born Feb. 12, 1809, in Hardin County, Kentucky. My parents were both born in Virginia, of undistinguished families…. My paternal grandfather, Abraham Lincoln, emigrated from Rockingham County, Virginia, to Kentucky, about 1781…where, a year or two later, he was killed by Indians…when he was laboring to open a farm in the forest.

My father, at the death of his father, was but six years of age; and he grew up, litterally without education. He removed from Kentucky to…Indiana, in my eighth year. We reached our new home about the time the State came in the Union. It was a wild region, with many bears and other wild animals still in the woods. There I grew up. There were some schools, so called; but no qualification ever required of a teacher, beyond reading, writing, and ciphering…. When I came of age I did not know much. …I could read, write, and cipher…but that was all. I have not been to school since. The little advance I now have upon this store of education, I have picked up from time to time under the pressure of necessity.

I was raised to farm work, which I continued ‘til I was 22. At 21, I came to Illinois, and passed the first year in Illinois - Macon county. Then I got to New-Salem…where I remained a year as a sort of Clerk in a store. Then came the Black-Hawk war; and I was elected a Captain of Volunteers--a success which gave me more pleasure than any I have had since. I went the campaign, was elated, ran for the Legislature the same year (1832) and was beaten -- the only time I have been beaten by the people. The next, and three succeeding biennial elections, I was elected to the Legislature. During this Legislative period I had studied law, and removed to Springfield to practice it. In 1846, I was once elected to the lower House of Congress. From 1849 to 1854…I practiced law more assiduously than ever before…. I was losing interest in politics, when the repeal of the Missouri Compromise aroused me again.

What I did

Lincoln at Peoria - The Turning Point
by Lewis E. Lehrman

Students of Abraham Lincoln know the canon of his major speeches – from his Lyceum Speech of 1838 to his “Final Remarks” delivered from a White House window, days before he was murdered in 1865. Less well-known are the two speeches given at Springfield and Peoria two weeks apart in 1854. They marked Mr. Lincoln’s reentry into the politics of Illinois and, as he could not know, his preparation for the Presidency in 1861. These Lincoln addresses catapulted him into the debates over slavery which dominated Illinois and national politics for the rest of the decade. Lincoln delivered the substance of these arguments several times – certainly in Springfield on October 4, 1854, for which there are only press reports. A longer version came twelve days later in Peoria. To understand President Abraham Lincoln, one must understand the Peoria speech of October 16, 1854. It forms the foundation of his politics and principles, in the 1850s and in the themes of his Presidency.

Kurrent mood: aroused
Be wary, for this is a great load o'Vf philo$ophikal bull$hit bYe @lecParker Klein: blogs.myspace.com/meamsnuffles .

"Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box, they tumble blindly as they make their way across the universe."

My goals are to be-
I am proud but not arrogant.
I am beautiful but not vain.
I am strong but gentle.
I am loving, I am humble, I am as much like a dog as I can be-
And I am happy.

I feel that if my labrador retriever could speak, he would not, and it has nothing to do with his intelligence. Rather, he is in on a quiet, little secret that is simultaneously the most obscure and ostensible knowledge in nature- a bit of wisdom we lack. A bit of wisdom we could all instill into our lives, if only we would acknowledge it. Words are superfluous. All we need are eachother. Love is the only truth.

We're all alone and afraid, we all want to be understood. We all need togetherness comfort. No one is superior or inferior to another, for we are all one, if only we'd see it. Our selfish expectation and the roles we bestow onto others merely isolate us from the truth. We are all flawed to perfection, and we all love each other anyway. There is every reason in the world to be completely confident with who you are, and you'd be deluded to assume that you have anything to be ashamed of.

If pain and sorrow are the only truth, than I'd rather live in illusion. It's true in my head, and my own awareness and presence of mind is all that I will ever need, for it determines my reality. Nothing is either good or bad, but a perception. Although my ego becomes distraught upon figuring that things are not going according to plan, I understand that there is a much grander scheme intended than I could possibly understand. My own little nirvana, you could say.

I am beautiful, and so are you. Let's all cuddle puddle.

On the anniversary of your assassination, I wanted to say thank you for putting our nation back together. When I study your life and presidency as historian, I full with pride that someone finally took a stand against the evils of greed and set free the oppressed! Thank you Mr. President!

Hi Abe, Lesley here.
You know, they made really nice statues of us.
Both of us. Really nice. Love, ~L

Like Rock N Roll, Abe?
We have a bunch. Free to Download too.

It means we give away our music Abe.
Because we're Saints, much like yourself.

Well nobody's perfect. In the end, it's what counts
in the end. We kept music from turning completely
sucky and horrible, and you stopped slavery.

Well, at least in principle.
The 'haves' still think they own the 'have nots'...
I suppose some history takes a really long time.

Love, ~Lesley
