n honor of Valentine's Day (Feb 14) and Abraham
Lincoln's birthday (Feb 12. 1809), we offer you
I Lincoln’s sentiments on women “Others have been
made fools of by the girls," he said, "but this can never
with truth be said of me I most emphatically, in this
instance, made a tool of myself " Lincoln was initially
spurned in love but later married Mary Todd, from
Kentucky “Whatever woman may cast her
lot with mine, should any ever do so. it is
WE) \ my intention to do all in my power to
~ \ md ke her happy and contented,
and there is nothing 1 can imagine
that would make me more unhap
py than to fail in the effort ”
Bad promises are better
broken than kept.
