In that article on Forney, I especially liked the last paragraph where Forney assessed Mr. Lincoln:

"Forney wrote in his memoirs: 'In many respects Abraham Lincoln had few parallels. He was most considerate of the feelings and deservings of others.” Forney said: “If you visited Lincoln he never wearied you with dreary politics or heavy theories, or glorified himself or his doings. In every crisis he sought the advice, not of his enemies, but of his friends. To his convictions he was ever true, but his opinions were always subject to revision.'”

The last sentence is especially appropriate for the subject that opened this thread...

Let's hope they don't try dismantling this one! Those stones are not held together by any type of cement or mortar.
