If you could meet anyone in history, who would it be and why?

And he continued his work, despite the loss of three sons. All that he did, and to me those are greatest challenges he overcame.

He masterfully choose a cabinet comprised of, for the most part, political rivals that would eventually bond and come to respect Lincoln for his character and leadership. They were of great value to the president as he led The nation through the civil war. Recommend The book "Team of Rivals: The political genius of Abraham Lincoln" by Doris Kearns Goodwin. My favorite book on the Lincoln presidency.

Agree whole hardily. someone that had that vision that he did and understood the resistance he would face. yes meeting special people like Albert Einstein would be great, Lincoln stood out as a leader in so many ways.

Because he built a pagan temple in Jerusalem for his pagan wife in God'd holy City he lost God's favor and God responded by taking his first born son and splitting Israel into two kingdoms (Israel and Judah). Although God gave him all the things you mentioned and more, he abused them and lost God'd favor, sadly.

SGT Mark Urben - Yep...that is what is recorded from those times..I believe that went along with how he was able to make "deals "...or treaties with other Kings that wanted to come after him which in turn amassed all the wimmen ( wives and concubines)...the temples came from being under the influence of the respective wimmen :)
