" By Abraham Lincoln "
The best way to destroy an enemy is to make him a friend.
" By Abraham Lincoln "
We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic cords of memory will swell when again touched as surely they will be by the better angels of our nature.
" By Abraham Lincoln "
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.
" By Abraham Lincoln "
I don't like that man. I'm going to have to get to know him better.
" By Abraham Lincoln "
'A drop of honey catches more flies than a gallon of gal.'' So with men. If you would win a man to your cause, first convince him that you are his sincere friend. Therein is a drop of honey which catches his heart, which, say what he will, is the highroad to his reason.
" By Abraham Lincoln "
