— Doris Kearns Goodwin
“Those who knew Lincoln described him as an extraordinarily funny man. Humor was an essential aspect of his temperament. He laughed, he explained, so he did not weep.”
— Doris Kearns Goodwin
“That is what leadership is all about: staking your ground ahead of where opinion is and convincing people, not simply following the popular opinion of the moment.”
— Doris Kearns Goodwin
