Quotes; from Abraham Lincoln,
By Regina Hill (Burnsville, NC United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Abraham Lincoln Wisdom and Wit (Americana Pocket Gift Editions) (Hardcover)
“Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth upon this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal...” if your memory just went into overdrive, bombarded by visions of a tall, lanky gentlemen with distinct, chiseled features that border on freakish and a familiarity about him, when in profile... associated with integrity, cherry trees and the Civil War, then you might be intrigued by this little book from Peter Pauper Press. .... Abraham Lincoln: Wisdom & Wit, a petite volume of 61 pages from Peter Pauper Press, is filled with intriguing & exemplary morsels spoken by Lincoln during his lifetime... it is a book of, indeed, Wisdom & Wit, with quotable insights & prudent statements left behind from a great philosopher’s lifetime. .... This miniature publication, a lean and compact, emerald-green book, with rectangular [as Lincoln’s features] illustration of Lincoln’s silhouette on the cover jacket, is chock-full of philosophical and enlightening insights from “Honest Abe”, who was recognized to be one of our history’s great thinkers. Created in the image of an exclusive gift book, the first page provides its purchaser with a “For” [insert gift recipient here] encircled by a decorative double border. Abraham Lincoln: Wisdom & Wit [ISBN: 0-88088-359-6] edited by Louise Bachelder and illustrated by Jeff Hill, is Copyright (C) 1965 by Peter Pauper Press... If you know someone who admires Lincoln, a history buff or quote enthusiast, you might consider this addition to their book collection. It’s a quick and interesting read that offers substantial perspectives from one of our country’s great minds.

A demonstration that Lincoln was a master of the economical use of words,
By Charles Ashbacher (Marion, Iowa United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (VINE VOICE) (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER)
This review is from: Abraham Lincoln Wisdom and Wit (Americana Pocket Gift Editions) (Hardcover)
Depending on your point of view, the greatest president in the history of the United States was either George Washington or Abraham Lincoln. They were both very humble men and Lincoln may have had no equal in using a small number of words for great power. His Gettysburg Address still remains the most succinct outstanding speech in the history of the nation.
This brief book captures the essence of the man, from his humility to his greatness. He was a very witty man and he never let the great responsibility of his office overwhelm that endearing feature of his personality. In only a few small pages, you read volumes about the great man that led the nation from disunity back to a fractured unity. One can only speculate how things would have been different if he would have served a full second term.
5.0 out of 5 stars
