Learning is, in too many cases, but a foil to common sense; a substitute for true knowledge.

He went to political and other speeches and gatherings; he would hear all sides and opinions, talk them over and discuss them, agreeing or disagreeing. Abe, as I said before, was originally a Democrat after the order of Jackson, so was his father, so we all were. He preached, made speeches, read for us, explained to us, etc.(remarks attributed to Abraham Lincoln's cousin, Dennis Hanks)
