Abraham Lincoln

If you would win a man to your cause, first convince him that you are his sincere friend.

If this is coffee, please bring me some tea; but if this is tea, please bring me some coffee.

Force is all-conquering, but its victories are short-lived.

He can compress the most words into the smallest ideas of any man I ever met.

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.

Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any one thing.
