Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln

“I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I must stand with anybody that stands right, and stand with with him while he is right, and part with when he goes wrong.” This quote means that winning isn’t a certainty, and is out of your control sometimes. But you can always do what is right and true. You must stand with anyone who is doing the right thing, no matter who they are. You must also part ways with them when they are wrong, no matter how much you enjoy standing alongside that person. You may not always win, but you can always chose to play fair, and be a champion in everyone’s heart. If you win a competition because you cheated, you are a winner to no one, not even yourself. If your opponent won fairly, then congratulate them. President Lincoln played fairly, and those who knew he was doing the right thing, stood right beside him.  If Lincoln would have lost, his followers would still continue to support him because the things he did were right. If he hd planned to do bad things, then his followers would choose to not support him any further, even if he was the president of the United States.
