Motivational Power Quot
Do Your Very Best and Let the Sands
of Time Judge You
“I do the very best I know how – the
very best I can; and
mean to keep doing so until the end. If the
end brings
me out all right. What is said against
me won’t
amount to anything.”
Abraham Lincoln 1809 – 1865, 16th
President of the United States
As I see it . . . . . . .
Do your very best and let the sands of
time judge you
All you can do . . . . is all you can do
when it’s your very best.
Abraham Lincoln was a simple man that as
President of the United States met the moments of his day to rise above the
chaos.
The country was split over the issues of
slavery . . . . and country became so divided that the country exposed into the
American Civil War in 1861 that lasted
until 1865. President Lincoln remained firm
in his resolve that man that no man had a right to own another man.
Under President Lincoln’s leadership and
by signing the Emancipation Proclamation in 1862 into law and the American
Civil War the slaves were freed.
The cost of civil war and freeing the
slaves was extremely high with over 750,000 deaths between the years of 1861 to
1865.
No man is perfect . . . . But in every
man there is the passion to do your very best. Only a few light the flame of
their passion to do their best under very trying conditions.
President Lincoln didn’t float a trail
balloon . . . . he did is very best and what best for all American.
He could have very easily kicked the can
down the road for the next president and congress to handle . . . . But he didn’t
he moved to the front and lead the country through a very trying time.
Do your very best and let the sands of
time judge you . . . . President Lincoln is judged for his wisdom and
leadership by the sands of time.
