Abe Lincoln Quote

[beginner shooter]

I heard this one today and found some wisdom in it.

"If I had 6 hours to cut down a tree, I would spend the first hour sharpening the axe."

Cool! That kind of wisdom seems rare these days.

I've always like that one. But I thought I remembered it as... "I'd spend the first four sharpening the axe."

I added here few more:

Character is like a tree and reputation like a shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing.

Avoid popularity if you would have peace.

A friend is one who has the same enemies as you have.

A woman is the only thing I am afraid of that I know will not hurt me.

Those first one is awesome, the second brilliant as well as hilarious.

How is a shadow less real than a tree?

I enjoyed the wisdom of his quote: "Am I not destroying my enemies when I make friends of them?"
