what this quote means on what i think is that people that you don't like or always argue with when you get to know them they aren't going to be some one you dislike alot.
ReplyDeleteAbraham Lincoln was the sixteenth president of the United States.Born February 12 1809 - died April 15 1865.
What this quote means is that when you extend your hand in comradery you tear down the wall of bad feeling toward the other person making them no longer an enemy to you but an ally.
ReplyDeleteYes I agree with this quote because as you extend your friendship to your enemy his animosity towards you will be forgotten over time. An example of this is when Lincoln himself extended his hand in friendship and rallied the democrats. Abraham lincoln is the 16 president.
this quote means that when you turn your enimes into friends your becomine friends with them.but they can be both, because people can treat there friends like there enimes by not being nice to then and in the end you can backstad them or they can backstab you.
ReplyDeleteThis quote tells that if you become friends with your enimes then their not worth to be your enemy at all, but your comrade.....
ReplyDeleteI agree with this quote because if you push your friendship to your enemy, that enemy will become wise and stop the fighting.....
" Keep your friends close, but your enimes closer "
Abraham Lincoln was the sixteenth president of the United States. He was born Febraury 12th (1809) On April 14, 1865, Lincoln was assassinated while attending a play at Ford's Theater in Washington, D.C. Actor John Wilkes Booth shot him in the back of the head before jumping onto the stage and escaping to Maryland. Lincoln died on April 15th.....
I agree prayas i think the quote means that too if there your freind then its not worth it for them to be your enemy.
ReplyDeleteto me this quote means that if you make friends with your enemy, they are your ally now instead of your enemy. for example, if you are trying to lead people but you have done something that makes them not like you, you have to do something to counteract that so you will be friends thereby making your once enemies your allies.
ReplyDeletethis quote means just because you have an enemy doesn't mean you can't become friends with them.I have enemies but im friends with them i don't remind them of what they did i just go on with my life.{my agreement is in the answer}Abraham Lincon was the president of the U.S.A he was the one that made the speach that starts with "Four scores and seven years ago"{i think} i think this quote is talking to all of us because we all have enemies we hate, and then you want to be friends after but you cant find it in your heart to become friends,so it is related to the public because we all have enemies we all will hate but we will become friends with.We can apply this to BHJMS because we get into alot of fights and we tend to get enemies so we can just call it truse and forget about the past.
ReplyDeletei agree with this qoute becauseis you become friends with the person you dislike you won't have to be enemeis anymore
ReplyDeletethis quote means that when you befriend an enemy you arent enemies any more so hes saying that i am not their enemy and they arent mine.
ReplyDeletei agree because if you cant get along with somebody but you try to and suceed in become in that persons friend the hatred between you will deslove.
Abraham Lincoln was bornFebruary 12,1809.He was the 16th President of the United States from March 1861 until his assassination in April 1865. He led the states in the American civil war and ended slavery.He had four kids
you can never say that some one is bad because a person can always change into some one good
ReplyDeletei do agree i have friends that i first met were really bad incouding myself, i want as smart today then i was in around G 4-5ish i would usualy not do homework and do it in class i was really bad in math, but then in grade 5 i was caught cheating on a math test, i remember walking to the car to go tell my mom to go talk to my teacher i would wait in the car. from that day on i said to myself that i would try to do better, and now i am one of the best students in math get my homework done and alone side im helping with stuff in school
abraham lincoln was the sixteenth president of the united states
In my opinion i think that this quote means , if someone doesnt like you , you should probably make friends of them so someething can be changed. If someone has hatred over you, its best to be friends with them. I agree with this because this usually happens in peoples daily life.
ReplyDeleteAbraham Lincoln was the 16th president of the United States.
Maybe he is talking to the people of America, because not everyone will like him. So maybe he does good deeds to the people in America for them to like him.
this quote means that instead of having emines, someone could make a freind of them and yea i also agree with prayas because that why you would know when they would do something and how.
ReplyDeletei agree becuase that way u would know ur enemy so well and like stethanie said maybe they can backstab you or you can back stab them
Lincoln lived for Feb.12 1809-April 15 1865.he was assassinated.he led the country through the greatest cisis,which was called the American civil war.
ReplyDeletetell me more about Mr. Lincoln
ReplyDeleteHe is a well know President ( and "famous" like Churchill, Gandhi, MLK, Terry Fox)
this qoute means that you shoudnt try to kill them but instead be their firends. abraham lincoln is the 16th president of united states of america he was assassinated while watching a play at ford theatre.
ReplyDeletewhen lincoln is saying that quote he was reffuring to when the american civil war was coming to an end. six days after the surrender of the army of north virginia
ReplyDeletei think thats what he was reffering to because they cant be enemies when one surrenders and when one surrenders the fighting is over the the only thing left to do is become friends,
i pretty sure thats what he was reffuring to
When you become a partner with someone that might be your opponent or adversary,it's better to become friends than enemies because 2 can get so many things done more than one can.Teamwork is the best way to solve any issues because the motivation can be used for positive tasks.For example,when there's two sports team of the same sport,but they have different ideas on tactics and styles,they can merge and become one excellent team because there's so many ideas that can be given to achieve success.
ReplyDeleteI don't agree with this quote.In my opinion,it takes will power and motivation to achieve success in anything.Becoming friends with your enemy changes the way you may think,but these people can still be the same.For example,when Germany had became allies with Russia,the two countries seemed to be trustworthy to eachother until Hitler defied the rules and invaded Russia,but it ended up being that Hitler lost..This was a lesson,meaning that you can't trust people that have done wrong to you before.
Abraham Lincoln was born in 1809 with parents of low social standing.He married Mary Todd in 1842,had four children.In 1863 he abolished slavery in the United States.April 14, 1865,he died by John Wilkes who was an actor.John Wilkes believed it was for the south,so they could keep their slaves.
I think this quote means when you make friends with your enemies, you wouldnt have any enemies to begin with. An example is when you dont do something wrong, you wouldnt have anything to feel bad for. Abraham Lincoln was the sixteenth president of the United States. He was born Febraury 12th (1809) On April 14, 1865, Lincoln was assassinated while attending a play at Ford's Theater in Washington, D.C. Actor John Wilkes Booth shot him in the back of the head before jumping onto the stage. Lincoln died on April 15th. I think this quote was speaking to people that didnt think that he was good as a president. This could apply to kids at beaumonde because instead of getting into fights with other people they could apply this quote to their situation and become friends with the person they dislike and they could have fun playing with other people instead of being in a fight.
ReplyDeletewhat i really think this quote means is that, fight, aganst someone you dislike isn't worth it because what do you get out of it?........NOTHING!
ReplyDeleteand you should become even closer friends with your enemies that your regular friends....
because you have the the power to change them in way they no need to harm you. and wise em' up.
ABRAHAM LINCON:
ABRAHAM LINCON WAS THE 16TH PRESEDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA... BORN FEBRUARY 12 1809. AND WAS KILLED BY JOHN WIKES BOOTH.. WHICH HE GAVE LINCON A HEAD SHOT; TO FINISH HIM OFF BEFORE HE COULD GET ONTO THE STAGE AND HEAD FOR MARYLAND.
HIS DEATH WAS ON THE DAY OF APRIL 15TH 1865.HE WAS "FAMOUS", BECAUSE OF HIS WILL AND COURAGE HE GAVE TO HIS PEOPLE; HE WAS VERY MUCH APPRECIATED.PEOPLE LOOKED FOR HIS COMPANING-SHIP... AND SO ON.....
IN CONTEXT OF HIS LIFE I THINK THIS QUOTE IS SPEAKING OF JOHN WIKES BOOTH, WHO WHAT I THIN WAS AN ENEMY OF LINCON. AND LINCON WANTED TO STOP THEIR FIGHT, CREATE PEACE BETWEEN THEM OR AT LEAST NON-VIOLENCE...BUT WASN'T ACHIVED.
THIS CAN APPLTY TO THE PEOPLE WHO ARE ALWAYS GETTING INTO FIGHT HERE AT BEAUMONDE HIEGHTS,
AAND GETY THEM TO KEEP CLOSE WITH OUT HAVING TO KILL EACH OTHER.
I think this quote means that if you and your enemies become friends then there is less killing and disaster
ReplyDeletewhat the quote means is to not make anyone against you but to make them your ally because abraham didn't think anyone as an enemy or an inferior he want something better for his country and what he said before he got assasinated by John Wilkes Booth was that he didn't want any violence and that no man shall be barried in the earth.
ReplyDeleteI found this paragraph interesting ..
ReplyDeleteOn Good Friday, April 14, 1865, Lincoln was assassinated at Ford's Theatre in Washington by John Wilkes Booth, an actor, who somehow thought he was helping the South. The opposite was the result, for with Lincoln's death, the possibility of peace with magnanimity died.
1.yes i do agree.i agree bacause when you turn a enemy into a friend you are giving then your trust and they are trusting you back.like what prayas said " Keep your friends close, but your enimes closer ".when you make a person your friend then its like calling a truce with them.
ReplyDelete2.Abraham Lincoln was the 16th president or the united states.he was in office from march 4th 1861-april 15th 1865.he was assassinated in april 1865.he led his country throught the americian civil war and he ended slavery.
3.i think this quote speaking of all his emimes he has had over the time he was alive because another similar quote that he said was"A friend is one who has the same enemies as you have" so if he followed this quote them he would be making a friend that was anothers person enemy.
lincoln was in charge of the of leading his part of the US during the civil war to end in order to end slavery.
ReplyDeletewe can apply this at our school by like the qoute that was stated before keep your friends close but your enemies closer you can become friends with them.
yes i agree with this quote because when you make friends of your enemies, you will accomplish more. for example, if you are fighting with your enemy because you dont agree with something, will that accomplish much? no, it probably wouldn't. but if you become friends/allies with your enemies, you will have more people supporting your cause leading to a closer victory for you and your cause. like prayas said "Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer"
ReplyDeleteAbraham Lincoln was the 16th president of the U.S. but he fought for freedom for slaves.He was killed for believing and doing the right things,just like Gandhi and MLK were.
ReplyDeletei agree with pamela because she is stating a fact that you should learn to love your enemies not just keep hating.
ReplyDeletei think this quote means that when you make friend of your enimies, you do not eliminate them because they are still there and you may be able to become friends but that doesnt mean that you have both changed.
ReplyDeletehe was famous for freeing the slavesm,writing the Emancipation proclomation,first president to be assasinated,and he lived in a log cabin
ReplyDeleteIn an episode of Arthur, Franices great great great great great grandfather cut Abraham Lincoln's beard.
ReplyDeletehere is lincons killer

Abraham Lincoln succesfully led the country through its greatest internal crisis the American civil war.He preserved the union and ended slavery.Its amazing to hear that hes such a great president but he was brought up by a poor family and was home-schooled.And then he became a country lawyer, an Illinois state legislator, and a one-term member of the United States House of Representatives, but failed in two attempts at a seat in the United States Senate.Lincoln was an outspoken opponent of the expansion of slavery in the United States,which he deftly articulated in his campaign debates and speeches.[1] As a result, he secured the Republican nomination and was elected president in 1860.
ReplyDeletewow nida where did arthur come from
ReplyDelete1)I think that this quote means that to keep on trying to befriend whoever you can regardless of who that person is. This includes People that you would rather dislike and if so, hate. Even if that hate is in your heart, remove it. But negative attitude towards certain people is also human nature. So directly, I think that this quote means that everytime you see someone that you have a negative attitude towards, you should atleast try to lessen the tensions between you and said person. It is what many people strive to do, Having no enemies, and having all friends, if that is possible. I certanly must agree with it because this is true, peace treaties between countries at war, in history, has made them closer then ever and brought friendship and prosperity into their Countries
ReplyDelete2)Abraham Lincoln was the 16th President of the United States. He Abolished slavery in the Northern United States, and he was against racism. The Civil war occured in his Presidency and it was fought by the Northern United States and the Southern United States. After the war, He made this statement,
"that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain--that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom--and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.".
I think that this means that all the people that passed in the war, died for a great cause, abolishing slavery in The United States, and that he stated that the government is there when people need it for assistance, it is fully up to the thoughts of the people to dictate who gets to stay in the office of presidency.
yea but with that quote, students can get an kinda bad example because maybe they would be freinds to their enemys but only for a their use and to see like their personality so like later if they would turn into enimes again , the person would know what their " enemy " would do
ReplyDelete1. i think the quote means that becoming friends with your enemies isnt always a good thing.
ReplyDeletethis quote to me means that if you makes firends with people that are like your enimes, they no longer be your enimes cause you then understande them better they wlii know you better.
ReplyDeletei agree with this quote, it's trying to say that making firends with people you don't like will make the it easier for both of you to understand each other and therfor you won't be enimes anymore.
i agree with with prayas that keeping enimes closer then friends willactual change both of you.
I think this means that instead of going on with hatred you can just extend your hand and make friends with the person that you hate and also that when you make friends with your enemies you arnt destroying them.
ReplyDeleteI agree with quote because this way there will be peace on earth if everyone was to be friends instead of enemies and if everyone was to shake hands intead of using those hands to hurt someone.
Abraham Lincon was the 16th president of the united states who was assasinated by John Wilkes Booth by a bullet in the back who Booth thought was trying to help the south.
ReplyDeleteI think that the quote means it is not bad to make friends with someone you hate.If you beacome really good friends with them they might even forget that they once hated you.They might think that you guys were friends forever.Yes I agree with this statment.The reason I agree is because [for example] if you are in an election and some people hate you if you make you might win.
ReplyDeletei had to write about arthur.. it awesome :)
