The article missed one little-known fact. Lincoln knew there’d be an Internet some day, and it would be a huge source of misinformation.

“Things may come to those who wait, but only the things left by those who hustle.”

Nice quote, if he said it...

I visited the Lincoln Library in Springfield, IL last year. There’s a sign that notes he’s the second most written about person in history, second only to Our Lord and Savior.

  Nice post!  I kept reading to the end.

In Lincoln's quote, "A house divided against itself cannot stand" we can read the crisis of our Republic today.

For more good reading of Lincoln passages, check out his Wikiquotes page.  There are also some striking images to see there.

Lincon on Slavery

“ My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and it is not either to save or to destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that.”

"What I do about slavery, and the colored race, I do because I believe it helps to save the Union; and what I forbear, I forbear because I do not believe it would help to save the Union."

- President Abraham Lincoln, August 22, 1862, in response to Horace Greeley’s editorial, “A Prayer of Twenty Millions,” which had called for immediate emancipation of slaves.

He may well have been gay. He shared a bed with another man....for 4 years.

He was also the only POTUS in history to order a mass execution.

The “Confederate Mound” in Chicago is the largest mass grave in the Western Hemisphere. Up to 6,000 Confederate soldiers who died in the infamous Camp Douglas which inspectors candidly labeled a “death camp”.

Lincoln was born in a log cabin that he built with his own hands.
