Words from Abraham Lincoln
Election Anxiety Advice
"With Malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds."
"A house divided against itself cannot stand."
"Allow the president to invade a neighboring nation, whenever he shall deem it necessary to repel an invasion, and you allow him to do so whenever he may choose to say he deems it necessary for such a purpose - and you allow him to make war at pleasure. "
On leading us into the future:
"Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power."
Could whomever wins office tomorrow have the courage and character to address that which is for the common good, to look after the many rather than the few, and restore a sense of dignity and pride to who we are as a nation?
"He has a right to criticize, who has a heart to help."
Nearly one hundred years later, Sidney J. Harris said: "If you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem."
May we all have wisdom to unite, the courage to face the future, and the heart to help. - Russell Bishop
