The fact that it was borrowed doesn't lessen the profoundness of the statement. Many of Lincoln's words were borrowed from others and yet we see him as a profound thinker. "A house divided against itself cannot stand." "And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand." Mark 3:25. "this hath all the distinctions of a house divided against itself . . " Thomas Paine. "a kingdom divided in itself cannot stand." Thomas Hobbes Best Rob Abraham Lincoln is the only man, dead or alive, with whom I could have spent five years without one hour of boredom. --Ida M. Tarbell
I want the respect of intelligent men, but I will choose for myself the intelligent. --Carl Sandburg
