Bite-Size Lincoln - Hardcover

Answering to Critics
When a man hears himself somewhat misrepresented, it provokes him--at least, I find it so with myself; but when misrepresentation becomes very gross and palpable, it is more apt to amuse him.

Honesty as Good Policy
If I were two-faced, would I be wearing this one?

Life's Joys & Sorrows
People are just about as happy as they make up their minds to be.

Readin' & Writin'
A capacity, and taste, for reading, gives access to whatever has already been discovered by others. It is the key, or one of the keys, to the already solved problems.

What's Right
The true rule, in determining to embrace or reject anything, is not whether it have any evil in it, but whether it have more of evil than of good. There are few things wholly evil or wholly good.

Virtues & Vices
Character is like a tree and reputation like its shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing.
