The prudent, penniless beginner in the world, labors for wages awhile, saves a surplus with which to buy tools or land, for himself; then labors on his own account another while, and at length hires another new beginner to help him. This, say its advocates, is free labor-the just and generous, and prosperous system, which opens the way for all-gives hope to all, and energy, and progress, and improvement of condition to all.
Abraham LincolnNations like individuals are subjected to punishments and chastisements in this world.
Abraham LincolnThe greatest lessons I have every learned were at my mother's knees... All that I am, or hope to be, I owe to my angel mother.
