Famous Quotes by Lincoln

-------
We can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice because thorn bushes have roses.
• Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power.
• My concern is not whether God is on our side; my greatest concern is to be on God's side, for God is always right.
• And in the end, it's not the years in your life that counts, it's the life in your years.

Erected 2016 by Earl and Joan Bellm; painting by David Earl Bellm.

x About Us We started traveling Historic U.S. Route 66 as a destination in 2009. It's like a 2,400 mile long drive back in time from Chicago to Santa Monica! more
xDid You Know: Many parts of the old 4 lane Route 66 were reverted to a 2 lane road after 66 was realigned to the interstate. In many places the abandoned lanes are still there.
