Political Quotes

“I grew up an Abraham Lincoln fan as a little boy. My mother, who did not have much formal education, nor did my father, they were both Abraham Lincoln fans and they told us stories about Abraham Lincoln. This obviously whetted my appetite, and I became an Abraham Lincoln guy who read everything that I could get my hands on about Lincoln. It is obvious from all of the comments that we have heard that Indiana, Illinois, and I guess we have to add Kentucky, have great memories and great fondness for the legacy of Abraham Lincoln, who would probably be considered a great communicator. The one quote that I often like to suggest that Lincoln made was about education. He said that "education makes a man easy to lead, but difficult to drive; easy to govern, but impossible to enslave." So as we put resources into budgets for education, I always try to remember Abraham Lincoln.”
