"I like to see a man proud of the place in which he lives. I like to see a man live so that his place will be proud of him."

Abraham Lincoln

"Commitment is ... making the time when there is none."

Abraham Lincoln


(Though I like this part most of the quote most, the whole quote is worth a read. Here is the rest.)

"Commitment is what transforms a promise into reality. It is the words that speak boldly of your intentions. And the actions which speak louder than the words. It is making the time when there is none. Coming through time after time after time, year after year after year. Commitment is the stuff character is made of: the power to change the face of things. It is the daily triumph of integrity over skepticism."

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

Abraham Lincoln

"Nearly all men can stand adversity. But if you want to test a man's character - give him power."

Abraham Lincoln

"And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years."


Abraham Lincoln

“Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.”

Abraham Lincoln
