This concise compendium offers his astute observations on a variety of subjects—from women to warfare. Nearly 400 quotations include such thought-provoking and memorable remarks as:Bad promises are better broken than kept.Marriage is neither heaven nor hell; it is simply purgatory.Whenever I hear anyone arguing for slavery, I feel a strong impulse to see it tried on him personally.Quotations are arranged chronologically within such topics as family and friends, the law, politics and the presidency, story-telling, religion, and morality. Students, writers, public speakers, and other readers will find this thought-provoking and entertaining volume an excellent introduction to the sixteenth president’s wit, common sense, and insight.","brand":"Abraham Lincoln","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48694390685987,"sku":"9780486440972","price":3.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0885\/5437\/3411\/files\/9780486440972_p0_v1_s600x595.jpg?v=1718590410","url":"https:\/\/glenthebookhouse.com\/products\/the-wit-and-wisdom-of-abraham-lincoln-abraham-lincoln","provider":"BOOKDP4","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
