The power of character

It often feels like we’re in society that’s moved beyond any accepted definition of character or morality. It’s shown in our politics, our entertainment, our social media feeds . . . But in the person of Lincoln, we’re clearly reminded about the power of character. Kindness, magnanimity, wisdom, thoughtfulness, etc. These things matter.

Jeremy Anderberg, The Big Read, commenting on Team of Rivals

Absolutely. I look at Lincoln and I look at our leaders today. These things matter and we don't require it of our leaders any more.
