Lincoln's Birthday Today

One day, Lincoln recounted a dream he had that night: In the dream, someone commented on how "common" he looked. In his dream he responded that "The Lord prefers common looking people, that is why he made so many of us". When he awoke he was amused at his dreamed response:

At Least You're Not an Oyster

“Let us rejoice and bless God that we are neither Oysters, Hogs, or Dray-Horses; and not stand repining that He has not made us Angels; lest we be found unworthy of that share of Happiness He has thought fit to allow us.”
- Benjamin Franklin
