Snippets Of Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln was without doubt one of the world's greatest statesmen. His words are as relevant now as they were in the nineteenth century; he was ahead of his time. Indeed, among the quotes contained in this book there are numerous nuggets of wisdom that apply as much to present-day life as they did to Lincoln's own time. Many of today's politicians would do well to heed them! Like Nelson Mandela and Mahatma Gandhi he lacked conceit and self-delusion; and like them his vision reached beyond national boundaries in its appeal. People everywhere revere him for his belief in the dignity of man and his wish to free humanity from oppression.Lincoln was a giant of a man in height; and, as you will discover within these pages, he was also a giant in his thinking.
