    Dr. Floyd, I hope you don’t think I’m being too inquisitive but perhaps you can clear up the great big mystery about what has been going on up there.

    Save those that the oak is keeping
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    Twenty-two years ago Judge [then-Senator Stephen] Douglas and I first became acquainted. We were both young then; he a trifle younger than I. Even then, we were both ambitious; I, perhaps, quite as much so as he. With me, the race of ambition has been a failure—a flat failure; with him it has been one of splendid success.
    Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
