A label maven with a beady eye for bargains and a craving for saving, Miss Thrifty lives in Yorkshire, UK. And no, you won’t find her on a “homestead”, harnessing energy via a mini wind turbine and washing clothes with homemade soapflakes and a hand-cranked mangle.

Great words of wisdom from Honest Abe. This should be written again in modern tongue and distributed to every mailbox in America.
Amen!

The Ten “You Cannots” Abraham Lincoln Did Not Say

Wow. This is so true. It’s a slippery slope we are on and no one is sure where it will lead. I hope Obama can get us out of this mess. There’s so much that I agree with him on: universal insurance, getting out of Iraq, etc., but I’m worried that big government is what he’s after. We definitely don’t need that.

Sorry Miss Thrifty,
Other than the thrift and character statements, I disagree with everything.
People are rarely poor due to laziness, fecklessness, etc, but far more frequently due to existing economic structures which strongly favour the rich minority over the working, and poor, vast majority.
From accross the world, thank you! I posted this on my blog too….it fits perfectly in my coupon clipping world today
Lincoln was extremely prolific. One of the deepest thinkers that this country has ever known.
Wonder how much he would command on the self-help circuit today?
