Top 10 quotes from Abraham Lincoln

 

Where should i begin, its very difficult when you have so many different famous quotes to choose from. These quotes are not just famous, in my opinion they are much more than that. I believe they are universal, anyone from any country or nationality can be inspired by these quotes.

Being the president of one of the most powerful country in the world, everyone can find themself impatient to read what he has said and written. Abraham Lincoln is one of the most talked about presidents that I know of, of course after Gorge W. Bush. Not being a fan of the Bush i decided to collect and write some of Abraham Lincolns top ten quotes.

Here they come..
