Abraham Lincoln is a lawyer, and in every one of his speeches he provides commentary on both the legality and of the ethical underpinnings of a law. And in this tiny book of quotations, there's only the quotes that were popular, so I'm sure I'll get to analyzing better books about Lincoln, but there is plenty ethical explanation of legislative, and "doing the right thing" kind of language, to improve ones ability to explain law!

Lincoln's words, whether spoken on written, (or handed down and burnished orally) are treasures and well worth reading. If anything, Lincoln's sense of humor is under reported in the contemporary accounts. (less)

I would love to see this turned into a play, at the high school level, so that the youth coming through the system can learn from the great words from one of our greatest Presidents.

Short and Sweet with texts of Gettysburg Address, Emancipation Proclamation, Inaugural Addresses. Surprised that more quotes did not ring familiar
