      PRINCIPLE AND PRECEPT

      JANUARY

      The dogmas of the past are inadequate to the stormy present.

      FIRST

      Always do the very best you can.

      SECOND

      If our sense of duty forbids, then let us stand by our sense of duty.

      THIRD

      It's no use to be always looking up these hard spots.

      FOURTH

      All I am in the world, I owe to the opinion of me which the people express when they call me Honest Old Abe.

      FIFTH

      The way for a young man to rise is to improve himself in every way he can, never suspecting that anybody is hindering him.

      SIXTH

      No one has needed favors more than I.

      SEVENTH

      Whatever is calculated to improve the condition of the honest, struggling laboring man, I am for that thing.

      EIGHTH

      All we want is time and patience.

      NINTH

      I esteem foreigners as no better than other people—nor any worse.

      TENTH

      My experience and observation have been that those who promise the most do the least.

      ELEVENTH

      I didn't know anything about it, but I thought you knew your own business best.

      TWELFTH

      If I send a man to buy a horse for me, I expect him to tell me his points—not how many hairs there are in his tail.

      THIRTEENTH

      You must act.

      FOURTEENTH

      I will try, and do the best I can.
