There are things that most people think would be glorious to achieve, but they think differently when they get the opportunity to experience them. Near the top of that list is the presidency of the United States.

Never losing his sense of humor, Lincoln put his own spin on the experience. He said, “I feel like the man who was tarred and feathered and ridden out of town on a rail. To the man who asked him how he liked it, he said: ‘If it wasn’t for the honor of the thing, I’d rather walk.’”
