First of America's "great communicator" presidents Speeches and letters as postmaster, country lawyer, legislator, and president; his "words are as much alive today as when written or uttered" This 1941 original has never been replaced or improved upon
Lincoln's words ring with great rigor, clarity, and simplicity when compared to most of today's political utterances. Here we read his witty testimonial for a brand of soap, his sharp commentaries in the "rat hole" letter to a New York firm, his family correspondence to a spendthrift brother, and letters to a bereaved daughter, an angry general, and many humorous and satirical responses to political challenges—as well as those great moments of wisdom in his speeches and letters during the critical times in his career and in America's history.

The Original Wit and Wisdom of Abraham Lincoln: As Reflected in His Letters and Speeches
Received this a a present for Christmas from Beth. I'll bet she didn't think I'd actually read it cover to cover! Anyway, it has some humorous and thoughtful quotations - some I'd read before and others that were new - that shed light on what an exceptional president. I doubt we'll ever elect someone with as much humility, compassion, and forgiveness since, in our cynical world, those qualities make someone "weak". I'd take Lincoln's "weakness" any day over what characterizes most of our elected asses today.
