"I am not bound to be true. I must stand with anybody that stand right, and stand with him while he is right, and part with him when he goes wrong." 

-Abraham Lincoln

Reflection: This quote means to me that Lincoln knew he wasn't always going to be right and won over the favor but what he meant when he at least tried was always true. He would stand and support the person if he was right but if he was not then Lincoln would not support him. Just like any other person should do. If someone wins but is wrong, then one should not follow, it better to lose and be right than win in the bad light. Lincoln was a rightful president and he should be a great role model to every person. He was in support of getting rid of slaves, which was the right thing to do, but in the beginning he was not favored. Later through doing the right, he stood behind everyone that knew the right thing to do and slavery was ended.

“When I do good, I feel good. When I do bad, I feel bad.”

-Abraham Lincoln

Reflection: After reading this quote I believe that Lincoln means that doing the right things makes you a good person and makes you feel like a good person. If you do all the wrong things you feel bad and you look bad to everyone else too. Do the right and you will feel good, do the wrong things and you’ll feel bad.
