FEW MEN HAVE VIRTUE TO WITHSTAND THE HIGHEST BIDDER

Honesty and integrity will lead ultimately to happiness and security. To succeed and enjoy success, we don’t need only ability, we need dependability. When Robert Morse died, his entire estate amounted to $59, 000 after 40 years as Director of Public Works in New York City. Millions of dollars had passed through his office.
At 24, Abraham Lincoln served as the post master of New Salem, Illinois, for which he was paid an annual salary of $55.70. Even then, years before he entered the White House, the rail splitter was showing the character that had earned him the title “Honest Abe”.
The New Salem post office was closed in 1836 but it was several years before an agent arrived from Washington to settle accounts with an ex-postmaster, with ex-postmaster Lincoln. Abe was a struggling lawyer. The agent informed him that there was $17 due to government. Lincoln crossed the room, opened an old trunk and took out a yellowed cotton rag bound with string, untying it, he spread out the cloth and there was the $17. He had been withholding it, untouched for all those years, “I never use any man’s money but my own”, he said.
When Andrew Johnson was 14, his mother had to go aboard a warship at Charleston to serve as a nurse. She feared she might not return and left this note for her son: “Andrew, if I should not see you again, I wish you to treasure up and remember some things. In this world you will have to make your own way. To do this you must have friends. You can make friends by being honest, keep them by being steadfast”.
