During one of the Lincoln-Douglas debates, Stephen A. Douglas accused Lincoln of being two-faced. Replied Lincoln calmly, “I leave it to my audience: If I had two faces, would I be wearing this one?” When a grouchy old Democrat said to him, “They say you are a self-made man,” Lincoln riposted, “Well, all I’ve got to say is that it was a damned bad job.”
