4. The letter Lincoln wrote to his son's teacher:
My son will have to learn.
Teach him that for every scoundrel there is a hero; that for every selfish politician, there is a dedicated leader. Teach him that for every enemy there is a friend.
Teach him that a dollar earned is of far more value than five found.
Teach him to learn to lose and also to enjoy winning, steer him away from envy.
Teach him the secret of quiet laughter.
Let him learn early that bullies are easiest to lick.
Teach him the wonder of books, teach him it is far more honorable to fail than to cheat.
Teach him to have faith in his own ideas, even if everyone tells him they are wrong.

Teach him to be gentle with gentle people and tough with the tough.
Give him the strength not to follow the crowd when everyone is getting on the bandwagon.
Teach him to listen to all men; but teach him also to filter all he hears on a screen of truth and take only the good that comes through.
Teach him how to laugh when he is sad.
Teach him there is no shame in tears.
Teach him to scoff at cynics and to be beware of too much sweetness.
Teach him to sell his brawn and brain to the highest bidders, but never to put a price on his heart and soul.
Teach him to close his ears to a howling mob and to stand and fight if he thinks he's right.
Treat him gently but do not cuddle him, because only the test of fire makes fine steel.
Let him have the courage to be impatient, let him have the patience to be brave.
Teach him always to have sublime faith in humankind.
This is a big order, but see what we can do. He is such a fine little fellow my son!

Lincoln has been considered the greatest American president of them all.
