Lincoln Mark

Famous quotes containing the words lincoln and/or mark:

    To [secure] to each labourer the whole product of his labour, or as nearly as possible, is a most worthy object of any good government.
    —Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

    Fences, unlike punishments, clearly mark out the perimeters of any specified territory. Young children learn where it is permissible to play, because their backyard fence plainly outlines the safe area. They learn about the invisible fence that surrounds the stove, and that Grandma has an invisible barrier around her cabinet of antique teacups.
    Jeanne Elium (20th century)
