    Executive Mansion,
    Washington, Nov. 21, 1864.
    Dear Madam,
    I have been shown in the files of the War Department a statement of the Adjutant General of Massachusetts that you are the mother of five sons who have died gloriously on the field of battle. I feel how weak and fruitless must be any word of mine which should attempt to beguile you from the grief of a loss so overwhelming. But I cannot refrain from tendering you the consolation that may be found in the thanks of the Republic they died to save. I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of freedom.
    Yours, very sincerely and respectfully,
    A. Lincoln

    Have a bit of that one lads. The Bixby Letter.

    I see no particular objection to giving women a chance to ride in races now and again ... such races should be on the Flat and be placed last on the card so that those racegoers not interested can return home for tea and Magic Roundabout.

    Until you are able to notice what it is to BE, all you really have is a story.

    "We know there are known knowns: there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns: that is to say we know there are things we know we don't know. But there are also unknown unknowns - the ones we don't know we don't know." -- Donald Rumsfeld

    &#8220;I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.&#8221;
    &#8213; Marilyn Monroe


    And a personal favourite to always make me smile:

    &#8220;Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog it's too dark to read.&#8221;

    "if any man tells you he went to the front line and wasn't scared he's a liar"
    "all those young lives lost in a war settled across a table, where's the sense in that."
