With Malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation’s wounds ~ Abraham Lincoln

This is, in fact, still quite apt, as is Dr. King’s last book, (1968), Where Do We Go From Here: Community or Chaos.

If only we had someone like Lincoln in office now. I still feel as if I’m living in an alternate universe.

I know right. If we even had 1/2 of the person we have in office now, then we might be a little better off.

Nice! 😇 “With Malice toward none, with charity for all” ― 👍 That’s one hell of a line to live by! Hats off to you for sharing this.
I’ve always admired the quote: “….With firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation’s wounds.”
Most people don’t really understand the difference between “involvement” and “commitment.” Lincoln sure did.
It’s like “Ham” and “Eggs.”
The chicken is involved;
The pig is committed. 😉

RIGHT! It’s so simple, yet apparently, a little more challenging in action. Glad you like it.
I like how you separate involvement and commitment. Understanding the difference between the two can not only solve nation’s wounds, but also some relationship woes.

Love it! Lincoln sure knew what he was talking about. Guess that’s not a requirement for presidents nowadays. 🙂

Kathy, this is beautiful. Abraham Lincoln is such an inspiration to me. My intention is to see the goodness in all and to act accordingly (for the greatest good). Have a lovely day my friend.

Thanks Debbie! I just learned something new about you 🙂 Seeing the goodness in all is challenging sometimes, but I suppose anything can be achieved with practice. Hope you had a great day today and I do hope your event went well.

Love the photo! And the quote! So important to look elsewhere for inspiration rather than focusing on the obvious ridiculousness the current situation. Law of attraction! 🙌

Jeez Louise, this is so true! I try to keep up with what our prez is doing, but some days, I have to do as you said, “look elsewhere.” It’s so easy to get swept up in the negativity of it all.
