I had the privilege today of seeing the movie Lincoln. If you have ever led anything…even the line when you were in kindergarten and it was your turn due to alphabetical order…you need to see this. Powerful movie that was remarkably true to history. Today was actually the 150th anniversary of The Emancipation Proclamation.
Here are some quotes from the movie…go see it…
- “No one is loved as much as you by the people. Don’t waste that power.” Mary Todd Lincoln speaking to President Lincoln
- “My trust in him is marrow deep.” President Lincoln in speaking of General Grant
- “With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation’s wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations.” President Lincoln
- “No one has ever lived who knows better than you the proper placement of footfalls on treacherous paths.” Mary Todd Lincoln speaking to President Lincoln
- “Do you think we choose the times into which we are born? Or do we fit the times we are born into?” President Lincoln
