The virtue America forgot: Why gratitude still matters for our national character
Does America need to focus more on the civic virtue of gratitude? It’s a question worth asking as we approach Thanksgiving. We do not mean personal gratitude. Most Americans are no doubt grateful for their families and friends, the roofs over their heads, God’s creation, and the blessings we enjoy in this country. But in our national discourse, do we publicly acknowledge those blessings enough? Do our leaders regularly express thanks for this nation’s greatness?
Lincoln's advice for success still rings true today Original
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Abraham Lincoln’s rise from a log cabin to the White House has inspired generations of Americans. Here, from our 16th president, are tips about some virtues and ideals that lead to success in life. Work Lincoln learned early the value of work.

What Lincoln would tell American students about learning
By John Cribb Real Clear Wire https://www.realclearwire.com/ Dear Young People, Presidents Day has come around again, so it’s a good time to take up my pen and scratch out a letter to you. It’s been a long time since I was president, but I never want to lose touch with this great country, especially our younger generations. I’m always interested to see what students are learning in school. Maybe that’s because I didn’t get much schooling on the frontier, where I grew up.
What Lincoln would tell US students about learning
Presidents Day is coming around again, so it’s a good time to take up my pen and scratch out a letter to you. It’s been a long time since I was president, but I never want to lose touch with this great country, especially our younger generations. I’m always interested to see what students are learning in school. Maybe that’s because I didn’t get much schooling on the frontier, where I grew up. My father sent me to school by littles — a little here and a little there between plantings and plowings.

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Dear Young People, I’ve been keeping an eye on this country of ours ever since I was president, almost eight score years ago, and jotting down notes about what I’ve seen. I like to put them in my stovepipe hat and carry them around up there for safekeeping, but since today is President's Day, it's a good time to take a few out and arrange them into a letter to you.
Lincoln's Gettysburg Address offers inspiring message for our cancel culture times
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Abraham Lincoln got one thing very wrong on Nov. 19, 1863, while dedicating a new military cemetery at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, when he said the world "will little note, nor long remember what we say here." The Gettysburg Address went down in history as perhaps the greatest speech given on American soil. Generations of school children have memorized and studied it.
COMMENTARY: What would Lincoln think?
COMMENTARY: What would Lincoln think? Abraham Lincoln was born 212 years ago on Feb. 12, 1809, and it is tempting in these divided times to wonder what he would think about events in Washington, D.C., and their effect on national unity, a subject always on Old Abe’s mind. Lincoln no doubt would have been horrified by the Jan. 6 storming of the Capitol. The Capitol dome, after all, is our greatest monument to government of the people.

John Cribb: Is President's Day next on cancel culture's hitlist?
Abraham Lincoln’s birthday, February 12, kicks off this year’s Presidents’ Day weekend. It comes at a time when Lincoln and other American icons are under attack. In parts of our country, statues of Lincoln, Washington, Jefferson, and others have been toppled or defaced. A New York Times columnist has insisted that "even George Washington" statues must be removed since he was a slave owner.

John Cribb: How can Biden unite America? Renew Abraham Lincoln’s call to ‘bind up the nation’s wounds’
When former Vice President Joe Biden is sworn in Wednesday as the 46th president of the United States, he would be wise to quote the words of President Abraham Lincoln’s inaugural addresses of 1861 and 1865. America stood on the brink of the Civil War when Lincoln became president.

Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address Still Speaks to Us – InsideSources
On November 19, 1863, when Abraham Lincoln stood up to deliver brief remarks at a hillside cemetery in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, no one expected it to be the greatest speech ever given on American soil. Today that speech is more important for our nation than ever. As I recount in my novel, Old Abe, the occasion for speech was the dedication of a new cemetery established to hold the remains of soldiers killed four and a half months earlier in the most cataclysmic battle the country had known.

Trump has more in common with Lincoln than you might think
This summer’s Republican National Convention was full of references to Abraham Lincoln, which is no surprise, given that Donald Trump likes to compare himself to the 16th president. It’s a comparison that aggravates Trump’s critics, who don’t like to see the man they consider the nation’s worst chief executive linked with the man widely regarded as the best. This may make those critics’ heads explode, but there are some fascinating parallels between the two presidents, as well as some contrasts.
Opinion: Odds were against Lincoln for reelection during Civil War. Will history repeat itself with Trump?
John E. Cribb “Mr. Lincoln is already beaten. He cannot be elected. And we must have another ticket to save us from utter overthrow.” That verdict came from the pen of Horace Greeley, editor of the New York Tribune, heading into Abraham Lincoln’s reelection campaign of 1864. Most Americans remember Lincoln as a hero and perhaps our greatest president. But when he stood for reelection, many in the media and political class viewed him as a loser. The odds weighed heavily against him.
