O knihe

Excerpt from The Fame of Abraham Lincoln: Oration Delivered Before the Euepia Debating Society of the Moline High School, April 16, 1904

Honesty is better than gold wherever found, but when it is sur rounded by temptations its worth is doubled. In this regard there exists a mistake in the minds of the public which time alone can change. Which of the following is a household story, known to theyoung American almost as soon as he has learned his alphabet? Compare the two: Upon my left I see a boy clad in the ancient colonial garb, a new sharp hatchet in his hand with which he has felled one of the most promising of a little grove of choice cherry trees. An angry father approaches: Who chopped that tree down? Firm and steady comes the answer, I cannot tell a lie, father, I did it with my little hatchet.
