      The road is still long, let's go slowly

      It was for Henry Fonda. The first time I saw him was in the grapes of anger. His way of speaking was very special, a very natural calm, which made people unconsciously want to worship! Leaving aside the story, his temperament is perfect for playing Lincoln, not to mention that he looks a bit like...

      nice

      This film made me realize Lincoln's deep love for the people, most notably when he came to the farmer's hut to investigate after he decided to be a defense attorney for the two brothers, and he had a long talk with his old mother: "You are like People from my hometown." And his love for the...

    Young Mr. Lincoln quotes

    • Abe Lincoln: We seem to lose our heads in times like this. We do things together that we'd be mighty ashamed to do by ourselves!

    • Abe Lincoln: [In the law office with feet up on desk, arbitrating a dispute] Now, it says here brother Hawthorne... that you owe brother Wooldridge fifty-five dollars and forty-seven cents board at the rate of a dollar and a half a week, you owe him ninety dollars for use of a team and wagon for eight months, besides one hundred dollars cash on a loan.

      Woolridge: [triumphant] Yeah...

      Hawthorne: [indignant] Well, I never said I didn't!

      Abe Lincoln: [scratches head, speaks slowly and methodically] Well, I ain't no lightnin' calculator... but accordin' to my figurin'... you owe him two hundred and forty-five dollars and forty-seven cents. You're askin' two hundred and fifty dollars damages. Now, my idea is to split the difference of four dollars and fifty-three cents... which by a *strange* coincidence happens to be exactly the amount of my legal fee.

      [stands, speaks faster]

      Abe Lincoln: And the whole thing's settled! Well, what d'ya say?

      Hawthorne: [defiant] I won't do it!

      Woolridge: [defiant] Me either! I'll go to the law first!

      Abe Lincoln: [strolls between Hawthorne and Wooldridge, puts hands in pockets] Gentlemen... did ya ever hear about the time in the Blackhawk war when I... butted two fella's heads together? And busted *both* of 'em?

      [looks slowly from one man to the other]

      Woolridge: [sheepishly] Eh... well uh, I'm willin' if he is.

      [digs in pocket for money]

      Hawthorne: [indignant] 'Tain't fair... but I'll do it just to be shut of him!

      [digs in pouch for money]

      Abe Lincoln: Thanks, gentlemen. Ahh, that's gonna save us all a heap'a legal trouble... and headaches.
