An amazing soliloquy. A sting in V1 A Miltonic reply in V2 CP

'He will have to learn, I know, that all men are not just, all men are not true. But teach him also that for every scoundrel there is a hero, ........ Teach him to learn to loose and also to enjoy wining........ In school teach him it is far more honorable to fail than to cheat. Teach him to have faith in his own ideas, even if everyone tells him they are wrong...... Teach him to listen to all men but teach him also to filter all the hears on a screen of truth and take only good that comes throgh............ Teach him to close his ears to a howling mob and to stand and fight, if he thinks he is right.................' ABRAHAM LINCOLN letter to Headmaster of his son's school
