"When the conduct of men is designed to be influenced, persuasion,
kind unassuming persuasion, should ever be adopted. It is an old and true maxim
that 'a drop of honey catches more flies than a gallon of gall.' So with men.
If you would win a man to your cause, first convince him that you are his
sincere friend. Therein is a drop of honey that catches his heart, which, say
what he will, is the great highroad to his reason, and which, once gained, you
will find but little trouble in convincing him of the justice of your cause, if
indeed that cause is really a good one". - Abraham Lincoln
"It is difficult to make a
man miserable while he feels worthy of himself and claims kindred to the great
God who made him." - Abraham Lincoln
"Let
me not be understood as saying that there are no bad laws, nor that grievances
may not arise for the redress of which no legal provisions have been made. I
mean to say no such thing. But I do mean to say that although bad laws, if they
exist, should be repealed as soon as possible, still, while they continue in
force, for the sake of example they should be religiously observed. - Abraham
Lincoln
“Discourage
litigation. Persuade your neighbors to compromise whenever you can. As a
peacemaker the lawyer has superior opportunity of being a good man. There will
still be business enough”.
- Abraham Lincoln
