I am also going to bring you my favorite Lincoln quotes.
“Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other one thing.”

“Things may come to those who wait, but only the things left by those who hustle.”

“Give me six hours to chop down a tree, and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe.”

“I don’t think much of a man who is not wiser today than he was yesterday.”
