About this Quote
This quote by Abraham Lincoln is a humorous method of revealing his preference for one drink over the other. He is implying that he does not care which one he gets, as long as it is not the one he is presently drinking. This quote speaks with the idea that sometimes we can be so set in our ways that we don't wish to try something brand-new, even if it may be better for us. It likewise speaks with the idea that we can be so comfy with what we know that we don't wish to take a danger and attempt something different. This quote is a suggestion to be open up to brand-new experiences and to not be afraid to try something new. It is a suggestion to be flexible and to not be so embeded in our ways that we miss out on something that might be excellent.
