Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln quote: "if you want your name to be remembered after your death either..."
if you want your name to be remembered after your death either do something worth writing or write some thing worth reading Abraham Lincoln
If I were to try to read, much less answer, all the attacks made on me, this shop might as well be closed for any other business. Abraham Lincoln
