Abraham Lincoln actually said...

"Character is like a tree and reputation like a shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing."

"That some achieve great success is proof to all that others can achieve it as well."

"I am in favor of animal rights as well as human rights. That is the way of a whole human being."

"In the end, it's not the years in your life that count, it's the life in your years."
