I don't like
that man. I'm going to have to get to know him better.
-- Abraham Lincoln
1809-1865, Sixteenth
President of the USA
I desire to so
conduct the affairs of this administration that if at the
end, when I come to lay down the reins of power, I have lost
every other friend on earth, I shall at least have one
friend left, and that friend shall be down inside of me.
-- Abraham Lincoln
1809-1865, Sixteenth
President of the USA
''A drop of
honey catches more flies than a gallon of gal.'' So with
men. If you would win a man to your cause, first convince
him that you are his sincere friend. Therein is a drop of
honey which catches his heart, which, say what he will, is
the highroad to his reason.
-- Abraham Lincoln
1809-1865, Sixteenth
President of the USA
Am I not
destroying my enemies when I make friends of them?
-- Abraham Lincoln
1809-1865, Sixteenth
President of the USA

I shot an
arrow into the air, It fell to earth, I knew not where; For
so swiftly it flew, the sight Could not follow it in its
flight. I breathed a song into the air, It fell to earth, I
knew not where; For, who has sight so keen and strong That
it can follow the flight of song? Long, long afterward, in
an oak I found the arrow, still unbroken; And the song, from
beginning to end, I found again in the heart of a friend.
-- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
1819-1892, American Poet
Yes, we must
ever be friends; and of all who offer you friendship Let me
be ever the first, the truest, the nearest and dearest!
-- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
1819-1892, American Poet
Your
friendship is a glowing ember Through the year; and each
December From its warm and living spark We kindle flame
against the dark And with its shining radiance light Our
tree of faith on Christmas night.
-- Thelma J. Lund
To gather with
God's people in united adoration of the Father is as
necessary to the Christian life as prayer.
-- Martin Luther
1483-1546, German Leader of
the Protestant Reformation
