Never Too Busy to Be Kind

While Lincoln was a poor young lawyer in Springfield, he was going to his office one morning when he saw a little girl crying at the door of one of the houses. Lincoln stopped to see what was the matter. She sobbed out her story. She was going to visit a little friend of hers in another town. It was to be her first ride on the train, and the expressman had not come for the trunk.

Mr. Lincoln lifted the trunk onto his shoulders and started off, calling to the little girl to "come along." They just caught the train. No wonder the little girl never forgot him! A great, brave, noble man he was-never too busy to be kind.

Whoops – I Wish I hadn't said that
A Quotation that the speaker probably wishes he could take back.

"This 'telephone' has too many shortcomings to be seriously considered as a means of communication. The device is inherently of no value to us. "
