“The most eloquent of American presidents, Lincoln seemed to have a comment – sagacious or humorous – on just about anything that mattered. This concise compendium offers his astute observations on a variety of subjects-from women to warfare.
Quotations are arranged chronologically within such topics as family and friends, the law, politics and the presidency, story-telling, religion, and morality. Students, writers, public speakers, and other readers will find this thought-provoking and entertaining volume an excellent introduction to the sixteenth president’s wit, common sense, and insight.”
