“His Workshop Was Inside His Head”

Posted on Updated on

In the courts, too, his friends thought him eccentric and singular.
“He had no system, no order; he did not keep a clerk; he had neither library, nor index, nor cash book. When he made notes, he would throw them into a drawer, put them into his vest pocket, or into his hat. … But in the inner man, symmetry and method prevailed. He did not need an orderly office, did not need pen and ink, because his workshop was inside his head.

By Emil Ludwig,”Abraham Lincoln: And the Times that Tried His Soul” ,Ludwig-96-06
