亞伯拉罕林肯
親筆所寫
他將為世界帶來貢獻
但只有上帝知道真正的時間

這些是林肯寫在自己教科書上的話，當時他還只是個小男孩。在他的自傳中，林肯估計他待在學校的時間總共有一年。他在印第安納州先鋒學校的老師沒有任何數學課本，所以林肯自己設法找到了一些得來不易的紙張，將它們繫在一起，做出了自己的「計算簿。 」

雖然林肯接受的正規教育不多，但他喜愛閱讀，他的鄰居都記得他會為了借書跋涉千里。他的部分愛書如下：「喬治華盛頓的生平及難忘事蹟」 (Life and Memorable Actions of George Washington) 、「魯賓遜漂流記」 (Robinson Crusoe) 、「天路歷程」 (Pilgrim's Progress) 及「伊索寓言」 (Aesop's Fables) 。為了借書，您會走多遠？


"Abraham Lincoln
his hand and pen
he will be good but
[God] knows When"

These are the words Lincoln wrote in his schoolbook when he was a young boy. In his autobiography, Lincoln estimated that his time in school totaled one year. His teachers in the pioneer schools in Indiana didn't have any arithmetic textbooks, so Lincoln found some paper, which was hard to come by, tied it together, and created his own "sum book."

Even though Lincoln had very little formal education, he loved to read, and neighbors remembered how he would walk for miles to borrow a book. Some of his favorite books included Life and Memorable Actions of George Washington, Robinson Crusoe, Pilgrim's Progress, and Aesop's Fables. How far would you go to borrow a book?
