Abraham Lincoln wrote in a letter to Joshua Speed, "I am profitably engaged in reading the Bible. Take all of this book upon reason that you can and the balance upon faith, and you will live and die a better man." Theodore Roosevelt admired Lincoln and studied his life. From his study he remarked that Lincoln "built up his entire reading upon his early study of the Bible. He mastered it; mastered it as later he mastered only one or two other books; mastered it so he became almost a man of one book, who knew that book and instinctively put into practice what he had been taught therein."
