Thought for the day:

Am I not destroying my enemies when I make friends of them?

It comes from a former president who lost his bid to become his state's senator. He had no national experience before he was elected as president. He ran his farm, split fences for rails, ran a little store, and served as a state legislator for 8 years. He led the country through crisis and turmoil and the most change it had seen since the constitution was created. He paid the ultimate price with his own life a few years later.

The president with little national experience but a heart for change??

Abraham Lincoln.
