Appropriate for Thanksgiving
Quote:Oh, that [his Thanksgiving Message] is some of Seward's nonsense, and it pleases the fools.


-- Abraham Lincoln, to Judge James M Nelson, in response to a question from Nelson: "I once asked him about his fervent Thanksgiving Message and twitted him with being an unbeliever in what was published." Quoted from Franklin Steiner, The Religious Beliefs of Our Presidents, p. 138


Smart guy, Ole Abe!
