Maggie Thatcher and Abraham Lincoln

[RJNorton]

Let's focus on him as he was when he was.

David Chambers Mearns said of Lincoln, "If he belongs to the ages it is because he belonged inseparably to his own age, his own fellows, his own environment ... if we would honor him, recognize and understand him we must return to his [age]."

From p. 13 of Mearns' book titled Largely Lincoln.
