Luke 12:2 “For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.”

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

Referring to a lawyer

May the sun bring you new energy every day. May the moon softly restore you by night. May the water wash away your worries. May the wind blow new strength into your being. May the earth rebalance you as you walk through the world. May you see yourself in all things bringing peace to all of creation. Shawnee prayer, +Rohn Federbush

Lincoln “I have sometimes seen a good lawyer, struggling for his client’s neck in a disparate case, employing every artifice to work round, befog, and cover up with many words some point arising in the case which he dared not admit and yet could not deny.

Lincoln “and how any man, with an honest purpose only of proving the truth, could ever have thought of introducing such a fact to prove such an issue is equally incomprehensible.”

  Lincoln “___ would have gone further with his proof if it had not been for the small matter that the truth would not permit him.” “A further deception is that it will let in evidence which a true issue would exclude.”

Lincoln to Williamson Durley, Springfield, October 3, 1845, “What was their process of reasoning, I can only judge from what a single one of them told me. It was this: ‘We are not to do evil that good may come.’”

Lincoln to Joshua F. Speed, Springfield, October 22, 1846 : “Another boy (birth of his son), very much a child as __ was at his age, rather of a longer order. __ is short and low and I expect always will be. I sometimes fear that he is one of the little rare-ripe sort that are smarter at about five than ever after.”

Lincoln (of Clay but of himself, too) “With other men to be defeated was to be forgotten; but with him defeat was but a trifling incident, neither changing him nor the world’s estimate of him.” And “He never spoke merely to be heard.”

Lincoln “…no man is good enough to govern another man without the other’s consent.” October 16th 1854 Speech in Peoria, Illinois in reply to Senator Douglas.
