Lincoln's Christianity by Michael Burkhimer

[Eva Elisabeth]

Thanks, maharba and Roger, I've never heard this either. Although I, too, would think it's apocryphal I find it interesting what stories grew and entwined around Abraham Lincoln.

I don't entirely get the meaning of "never 'trouble trouble till trouble troubles you". Does it mean do lash back (trouble others) if they trouble you? Or trouble each other? Or never trouble anyone at all (which seems the best)?
