Abraham Lincoln only had 5 years of school,
from when he was 6 til 15.
He never finished school, never went to college-
a self-educated man.
Education has nothing to do with greatness.

However, the schooling he did receive was far better than the tripe our kids are exposed to nowadays. When he lived close enough to a school he could walk to he went to it. When his family moved to where there were no schools, he kept up his studies. He read and understood Euclid and used his book to exercise his brain for his famous debates.
I also read a testimony from his cousin who said that Abe would practice "speechifying" by standing on a stump giving long orations to all his playmates, even adding "large gesticulations," which included waving his long, lanky arms and bowing magnificently to his audience.
His cousins loved it all.
“Education has nothing to do with greatness.”
Or intelligence! :)
