Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Evening With Lincoln Every man should have a hero. If there is any one who confesses he has none, do not trust him; he has no high ideals, he does not wish to be greater or better than he is, and it is certain that he is in a fair way to become one of earth´s degenerates. There is no nation that has ever attained greatness without its list of heroes. Greece had Achilles and Socrates and Demosthenes, Rome had Cæsar, France Napoleon, Germany Bismarck, England Alfred the Great and Gladstone. America has her heroes, too, whose names have been given to states and towns and streets all over the land, until there is no one who has not heard them often. Washington was truly the Father of his Country, Franklin stands for American wit and American common sense, and Lincoln, born in poverty, brought up in a wilderness full of ignorance, we worship as the savior of the Nation. Lincoln the Ideal American Hero. Lincoln is an ideal hero for Americans, because he came from the very lowest, poorest, meanest stock, and rose to the very highest office we have to bestow. As a boy and as a young man he was so like one of us that there are few who cannot say they have as many natural gifts or as many opportunities as he had.
