Our early history is filled with Biblical references even if they are not identified as such. <br /><br />Perhaps Lincoln rephrased the quote many have used here. People of his day would easily have recognized where he got his words.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />Susan :)Susan J.

This is one of my favorite quotes! I never ...Karen,<br />This is one of my favorite quotes! I never knew to attribute it to Abe Lincoln. I thought it to be some sort of Swedish proverb or something like that. <br /><br />I love to compare the quote to Prov. 17:28 which says "Even a fool when he keeps silent is considered wise." <br /><br />When I am unsure whether to speak or keep silent, I allow God to bring to mind that verse OR Col. 4:6 "Let your speech always be with grace ... so you know how to respond." Then I am confident to speak up or just to keep my thoughts between me and the Lord. During my long commutes when I worked in NYC, I often faced this dilemma of speak or keep silent, and God always provided one of these 2 Scriptures to guide me. <br /><br />And it was my pleasure to mention your blog. In fact, I couldn't NOT mention it! <br /><br />It's been a sweet blessing following your blog.<br />SusanNorth Jersey Christian Writers Grouphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03981039468686243008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-855485928545677951.post-86984072366674621662010-02-15T14:30:20.640-05:002010-02-15T14:30:20.640-05:00Karen,
