    • The best way to destroy an enemy is to make him a friend.


    • Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe.


    • You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time.


    • My great concern is not whether you have failed, but whether you are content with your failure.


    • I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live by the light that I have. I must stand with anybody that stands right, and stand with him while he is right, and part with him when he goes wrong



    • “No man has a good enough memory to be a successful liar”



    • "How miserably things seem to be arranged in this world. If we have no friends, we have no pleasure; and if we have them, we are sure to lose them, and be doubly pained by the loss.

    Many of us known about these but some of them may not have the chance of reading these. It is for them.

    On this day I want to introduce a book " Lincoln the Unknown" by Dale Carnegie ( The great author of How to win friends and influence them). He has written this book only for him. Please try to read this book if you can. We can come to know who is Lincoln?.

    great Day friends.
