“I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I must stand with anybody that stands right, and stand with him while he is right, and part with him when he goes wrong.”
-Abraham Lincoln
This is a long quote that also has a huge meaning behind it. It means that you should always be true to yourself. You should never choose the wrong. You should always make the right choices because people see you based on the choices you make. An example of this quote is Abraham Lincoln. Abraham Lincoln did what was right. One of the things that he did that was right was that he walked 6 miles just to pay a woman back that didn’t get enough change. Another thing that Abraham Lincoln did was he started a business. The business did terrible but instead of declaring bankruptcy he decided to pay all of his debts back. One final thing that he did was he worked in fields for a few days to pay back a book that was borrowed that he soaked. Abraham Lincoln is someone who bounds to be true and not wrong. People who choose the right are people that don’t bound to win, they instead bound to be true. You should never surround yourself with people who choose the wrong because they will influence you to make the wrong choices.

"When I do good, I feel good. When I do bad, I feel bad."
-Abraham Lincoln
This quote is very short but it has a big meaning. What this quote means is that when you do good something good you feel good, but when you do something bad you feel bad. An example of doing good and feeling good is doing good on a test. It makes you feel good because something good happened. An example of doing bad and feeling bad is going to jail. You went to jail for doing something bad and now you feel bad and regret what you did. Another example of this quote is choosing the right, If you choose the right you will become a better person and feel better about yourself. If you choose the wrong you are doing something wrong and it will have a negative impact on your life and will also cause you to feel bad about yourself. So this quote basically means whenever you do something good it will make you feel better about yourself . If you do something bad you will feel bad about yourself.
