ACT WITH “MALICE TOWARD NONE”

Win in a way that will allow your opponents to eventually forgive you.

Abraham Lincoln had the vision to see that winning the peace after the war would prove almost as difficult winning the war itself.

In a Civil War that ended the lives of over 600,000 souls, one might see how easy it would be for a leader to journey into anger, and prosecute a war with vengeance and retribution at heart.

Lincoln did not.
