Quote of the day by Abraham Lincoln: Sometimes, the smartest way to deal with an enemy isn't to defeat them, it's to stop treating them like one. A quote widely attributed to former US President Abraham Lincoln captures that idea beautifully: “The best way to destroy an enemy is to make him a friend.” The line carries a simple but powerful message. Anger can keep a conflict going, while understanding, forgiveness and a willingness to find common ground can bring it to an end.
Interestingly, although the quote is commonly linked to Lincoln, the exact wording is not securely documented in his speeches or writings. However, the philosophy behind it is remarkably close to Lincoln's well-documented approach to reconciliation during one of the most divided periods in American history.
