Abraham Lincoln

Judging what is right

Famous quote on right livelihood–effort, purpose and determination–by Abraham Lincoln, 16th president of the United States, which describes our everyday efforts in life. Illustrated with the image of his well-known memorial statue in Washington, D.C.

“If I were to try to read, much less to answer, all the attacks made on me this shop might as well be closed for any other business. I do the very best I know how, the very best I can, and I mean to keep on doing so until the end.

If the end brings me out all right, then what is said against me won’t matter. If the end brings me out wrong, then ten angels swearing I was right would make no difference.
