  1. A quotation (probably not) from Abraham Lincoln

    I never encourage deceit, and falsehood, especially if you have got a bad memory, is the worst enemy a fellow can have. The fact is, truth is your truest friend, no matter what the circumstances are.

    Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865) American lawyer, politician, US President (1861–65)
    Letter (1842-02-22) to George E. Pickett (forgery)

  2. A quotation from Lincoln

    Familiarize yourselves with the chains of bondage, and you are preparing your own limbs to wear them. Accustomed to trample on the rights of those around you, you have lost the genius of your own independence, and become the fit subjects of the first cunning tyrant who rises.

    Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) American lawyer, politician, US President (1861-65)
    Speech (1858-09-11), Edwardsville, Illinois
