“My father... removed from Kentucky to... Indiana, in my eighth year......” — Abraham Lincoln Quote

“My father... removed from Kentucky to... Indiana, in my eighth year... It was a wild region, with many bears and other wild animals still in the woods. There I grew up... Of course when I came of age, I did not know much. Still somehow, I could read, write, and cipher... but that was all.”

“Most folks are as happy as they make up their minds to be.”

“What is to be, will be, and no prayers of ours can arrest the decree.”
