abraham lincoln
born in a log cabin in kentucky in 1809, raised in poverty, and almost entirely self-educated, abraham lincoln became a successful lawyer in springfield, illinois, where he married mary todd. lincoln came to the presidency with little experience-a few years in the illinois legislature and one term in congress. but he had a remarkable gift for helping people see the war as a test of popular government, "of the people, by the people, and for the people" (gettysburg address).
after his assassination in 1865, lincoln came to be seen as a leader of nearly mythic proportions-a towering, legendary figure who had saved democracy and freed the slaves.

walking
--spoiler--
walking is not sport. sport is a discipline, "an ethic, a labour". it is a performance. walking, on the other hand, "is the best way to go more slowly than any other method that has ever been found". if you want to go faster, don't walk. do something else: drive, slide, fly.
