Hello My Friends

Posted on May 11th, 2009 by Wendy

I am seeking some book recommendations from my friends here!  I am looking for something deep, slightly abstract, inspirational, gut wrenching, and honest. I don't care if it is fiction or non-fiction, the feeling is... More »

Come, come, come.  Without a monster or two it's not a quest, merely a gaggle of friends wandering about.

The imaginary friends I had as a kid dropped me because their friends thought I didn't exist.

Deliver me from your cold, phlegmatic preachers, politicians, friends, lovers and husbands.

The things I want to know are in books; my best friend is the man who'll get me a book I ain't read.

Am I not destroying my enemies when I make them my friends?

President Lincoln was once criticized for his attitude toward his enemies. "Why do you try to make friends of them?" asked an associate. "You should try to destroy them." "Am I not destroying my enemies," Lincoln gently replied, "when I make them my friends?"

My friends: No one, not in my situation, can appreciate my feeling of sadness at this parting. To this place, and the kindness of these people, I owe everything. Here I have lived a quarter of a century, and have passed from a young to an old man. Here my children have been born, and one is buried. I now leave, not knowing when or whether ever I may return, with a task before me greater than that which rested upon Washington. Without the assistance of that Divine Being who ever attended him, I cannot succeed. With that assistance I cannot fail. Trusting in Him who can go with me, and remain with you, and be everywhere for good- let us confidently hope that all will yet be well. To His care commending you, as I hope in your prayers you will commend me, I bid you an affectionate farewell.

I desire so to conduct the affairs of this administration that if at the end . . . I have lost every other friend on earth, I shall at least have one friend left, and that friend shall be down inside of me.

I think very much of the people, as an old friend said he thought of woman. He said when he lost his first wife, who had been a great help to him in his business, he thought he was ruined - that he could never find another to fill her place. At length, however, he married another, who he found did quite as well as the first, and that his opinion now was that any woman would do well who was well done by. So I think of the whole people of this nation - they will ever do well if well done by. We will try to do well by them in all parts of the country, North and South, with entire confidence that all will be well with all of us.
