Then he saw also that it matters little what profession whether of religion or irreligion a man may make provided only he follows it out with charitable inconsistency and without insisting on it to the bitter end. It is in the uncompromisingness with which dogma is held and not in the dogma or want of dogma that the danger lies.
The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty and we must rise with the occasion. As our case is new so we must think anew and act anew. We must disenthrall ourselves and then we shall save our country. Fellow-citizens we cannot escape history. No personal significance or insignificance can spare one or another of us. The fiery trial through which we pass will light us down in honor or dishonor to the latest generation. We say we are for the Union. The world will not forget that we say this. We even we here hold the power and bear the responsibility. In giving freedom to the slave we assure freedom to the free honorable alike in what we give and what we preserve. We shall nobly save or meanly lose the last best hope of earth.
Dont ever take a fence down until you know why it was put up.
Do not count your chickens before they are hatched.
Dont worry about people stealing an idea. If its original and it?s any good you?ll have to ram it down their throats.
Dont condescend to unskilled labor. Try it for half a day first.

Dont walk in front of me I may not follow; Dont walk behind me I may not lead; Walk beside me and just be my friend.
Dont get mad. Dont get even. Just get elected then get even.
Dont judge mens wealth or godliness by their Sunday appearance.
Dogmatism is puppyism come to its full growth.
To be upset over what you dont have is to waste what you do have.

The greater the ignorance the greater the dogmatism.
Dont judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds you plant.
Dont go around saying the world owes you a living; the world owes you nothing; it was here first.
Bite off more than you can chew then chew it. Plan more than you can do then do it.
You cant teach an old dog new tricks.
