Great post Crowe. There is one where he talks about not wanting to take down the house of another so that when you build yours it will be safe. He was referring to finances. I don't recall exactly how it was worded, but it was definitely one of my favorite of his. It was basically saying not to dislike the successful, but to try to emulate them.

My favorite quote of his was, "Don't believe everything you read on the internet". ;)
Ha Ha. I think you mean this actual quote of his "Never regret what you don't write." Abraham Lincoln
If he were alive today, (he would be very old), he would have to chuckle at how much more relevant his quotes are 150 years later!
