This fills me with such longing. For leaders and a Congress who are zealous to live up to this legacy.

We have a perfect example of someone acting in the way Lincoln did, and with the same eloquence, humility, and grace We miss you, President Obama

Did he actually draw that little pointing hand?
Is that the world's first emoji?? -
Maybe, though the Ancient Egyptians had some emoji-like symbols to enrich the meaning of hieroglyphic text too. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Index_(typography) …

Thanks so much for sharing the original context of this memorable phrase. Reading it like this, in President Lincoln's own handwriting, moved me. Amazing that we can still be moved, and hopefully inspired to never quit trying, in these dystopian times. We are resilient! Vote!

Lincoln was an intelligent, compassionate man of character. These qualities are sadly absent in Trump.

For some reason, the better angels of our nature” seem to go in hibernation before the onset and during wars. And they awaken only after a certain amount of bloodshed & mayhem.

Sadly, as pointed out by an infuriated Frederick Douglass at the time, the inaugural address includes several paragraphs justifying enforcement of the Fugitive Slave Act.

I like this a lot. But, I'm not so sure that we have any "better angels of our nature" out there that can help us with this mess in Washington. Well okay. Robert Mueller seems to have wings and a Halo.

The great leaders reach out to the better angels of our nature and urge us to live up to our highest values. The worst exploit our fear and hatred.
