Believe in the power of tolerance!
On the eve of Lincoln's campaign, he was humiliated by a Senate during his speech in the Senate, who said, "Mr. Lincoln, before you begin your speech, I want you to remember that you are the son of a shoemaker." ”
I am so grateful to you for reminding me of my father, who has passed away, and I must remember your advice, I know that I can't do as well as my father did as a shoemaker. ”
The Senate fell silent.
He turned to the arrogant councillor and said, "As far as I know, my father used to make shoes for your family as well, and if your shoes don't fit, I can help you fix them." Although I am not a great shoemaker, I learned the art of making shoes from my father at a young age.
Then he said to all the senators: "It is the same for anyone in the Senate, if the shoes you are wearing were made by my father, and they need to be repaired or improved, I will help as much as I can." But one thing is for sure, his craftsmanship is unmatched.
At this point, all the ridicule turned into sincere applause.
Someone criticized Lincoln**'s attitude toward political opponents: "Why are you trying to make them friends? You should find a way to fight them and destroy them. ”
Aren't we destroying political opponents? When we become friends, political enemies don't exist. Lincoln said mildly. This is how Lincoln eliminated political enemies and turned enemies into friends.
He was twice elected to the United States**.
