(Extract from letter written by Abraham Lincoln to the headmaster of the school)
Dear Teacher,
My son will have to learn that:
For every bad guy, there are many good people;
For every selfish person, there are many dedicated people
A dollar earned is of far more value that five dollars found
It is more honorable to fail than to cheat
My dear Teacher,
Teach him the wonders of books
Teach him to be gentle with gentle people, and tough with the tough.
Teach him to listen to all men…but teach him also to filter all he hears on a screen of truth
Teach him to have faith in his own self
Teach him to stand up and fight if he thinks he’s right.”
