Abraham Lincoln one-liners:
“Honestly, if I were two-faced., would I be showing you this one?”
“I am rather inclined to silence, and whether that be wise or not, it is at least more unusual nowadays to find a man who can hold his tongue than to find one who cannot.”
“I have now come to the conclusion never again to think of marrying and for this reason: I can never be satisfied with anyone who would be block-head enough to have me.”
