- Your conscience is the measure of the honesty of your selfishness. Listen to it carefully.
- Whenever I hear someone arguing for slavery, I feel a strong compulsion to see it visited upon them.
- You love her, and she loves him, and he loves somebody else, you just can't win.
- Compound interest is the most powerful force in the universe.
- There are paths that are not taken; there is terrain for which one does not contend; there are orders from the high command that are not followed.

I am a big fan of Abraham Lincoln, on many levels. He is an excellent study on how history is written by the victors. With that said, here are a couple of facts concerning Abraham Lincoln:
His initial idea on how to implement the abolition of slavery was to ship all black-skinned people back to the Caribbean/Africa, as appropriate. (editor's note: funny how easy it is to ensure that all men are equal if a particular demographic is just "not here")
During the American Civil War, President Lincoln suspended habeas corpus. (editor's note: and we think the Patriot Act is inequitable (and rightfully so).)
Because I began this trip on a Tuesday, I feel a need to shore things up for this week (no K-type shoring...promise.)
Thus, sometime this afternoon, I will post a second set of quotes for the day. I've no doubt you'll both like the one I've selected for #2. It's long, but important. And no, it's not the Gettysburg Address :)
Ahh...suspense. Or annoyance. I guess both serve my purpose. Oh, the pleasures of being without purpose :)
I know the power of compound interest and I still carry a balance on my credit cards from month to month. That is not smart. Damn materialism and intantanious gratification with credit.
